Intermediate spin, Schr\"odinger cat states and nano-magnets
Abstract
Quantum tunneling of nano-magnets finds a natural description in terms of intermediate spin. Periodic magnetic effects correspond to a change of flux by the flux quantum 0. Schr\"odinger cat states with different superpositions of the applied magnetic field occur. The molecular magnet Fe8 is discussed and oscillations are predicted for Mn12.
