Spin-Wave Description of Nuclear Spin-Lattice Relaxation in Mn12O12 Acetate
Abstract
In response to recent nuclear-magnetic-resonance (NMR) measurements on the molecular cluster Mn12O12 acetate, we study the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 developing a modified spin-wave theory. Our microscopic new approach, which is distinct from previous macroscopic treatments of the cluster as a rigid spin of S=10, not only excellently interprets the observed temperature and applied-field dependences of 1/T1 for 55Mn nuclei but also strongly supports the 13C NMR evidence for spin delocalization over the entire molecule.
