Abstract

We study the dynamics of molecular nanomagnets through a fully quantum mechanical model describing high-spin and high-anisotropy magnetic molecules subjected to a time-dependent magnetic field along the quantization axis, which continuously inverts the population of spin states. Crystals of molecular nanomagnets placed inside a resonant cavity interact with a quantized electromagnetic field. Relaxation of excited states takes place by means of spin-photon interaction, allowing stimulated emission of radiation and creating a maser effect.
