Determination of the magnetic anisotropy axes of single-molecule magnets
Abstract
Simple methods are presented allowing the determination of the magnetic anisotropy axes of a crystal of a single-molecule magnet (SMM). These methods are used to determine an upper bound of the easy axis tilts in a standard Mn12-Ac crystal. The values obtained in the present study are significately smaller than those reported in recent high frequency electron paramagnetic resonance (HF-EPR) studies which suggest distributions of hard-axes tilts.
