Pure and Random-Field Quantum Criticality in the Dipolar Ising Model: Theory of Mn12 acetates

Abstract

A theoretical model for the Mn12 acetates is derived including a 'random field' effect arising from isomer effects in some families of host acetate materials. Estimates for the important energy scales are given. Phase boundaries are determined using a mean field approximation. Predictions for experiment are presented
