Abstract

This paper investigates the single-molecule magnets of pure and Cr/Fe-doped Mn12-Ac. The components of the mixed crystals are identified by AC susceptibility technique. The ground-state spin and anisotropy parameters of doped Mn12-Ac are obtained: (i) Mn11Cr-Ac (S 19/2, D 0.62K, B 0.0009 K, Δ 63K), and (ii) Mn11Fe-Ac (S 21/2, D 0.39K, B 0.001 K, Δ 55K). The single-ion origin of the magnetic anisotropy is discussed.
