摘要：

Our present understanding of the phenomenon of quantum tunneling of magnetization (QTM), is reviewed in the light of the experiments performed on the molecular complex Mn-12-ac. This system, in which QTM was clearly shown for the first time, consists of molecules with mesoscopic spins in dipolar interactions. Both single and many-molecule effects are essential for the observation of QTM (crystal field, hyperfine and dipolar interactions), which allows one to make a link between mesoscopic physics and magnetism.
