摘要
Large-size single crystals of the single-molecule magnet [(Mn0.96Cr0.04)(12)O-12(CH3COO)(16)(H2O)(4)] center dot 2CH(3)COOH center dot 4H(2)O ((Mn0.96Cr0.04)12-Ac) were grown, and the effect of Cr substitution on quantum tunneling of the magnetization (QTM) was investigated. In comparison with its parent Mn12-Ac {abbreviated for [Mn12O12 (CH3COO)(16)(H2O)(4)] center dot 2CH(3)COOH center dot 4H(2)O}, a faster relaxation, i. e., a higher QTM probability, has been observed in (Mn0.96Cr0.04)12-Ac. This modulation of the relaxation time due to the Cr doping could be attributed to additional intrinsic, but distributed, transverse and longitudinal anisotropies raised by a subtle change of the local environment in the magnetic Mn12 core.
