TLDR
An intrinsic broadening is measured which is driven by the hyperfine fields by using a recently developed "hole digging" method, suggesting that spin-phonon coupling dominates the relaxation rate.Abstract:
The strong influence of nuclear spins on resonant quantum tunneling in the molecular cluster Fe8 is demonstrated for the first time by comparing the relaxation rate of the standard Fe8 sample with two isotopic modified samples: (i) 56Fe is replaced by 57Fe, and (ii) a fraction of 1H is replaced by 2H. By using a recently developed "hole digging" method, we measured an intrinsic broadening which is driven by the hyperfine fields. Our measurements are in good agreement with numerical hyperfine calculations. For T>1.5 K, the influence of nuclear spins on the relaxation rate is less important, suggesting that spin-phonon coupling dominates the relaxation rate.read more

Single-Molecule Magnets
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that even smaller particles can be used either by working at lower temperatures or by taking advantage of the onset of quantum size effects, which can make nanomagnets candidates for the construction of quantum computers.

Single-molecule magnets: a large Mn30 molecular nanomagnet exhibiting quantum tunneling of magnetization.
TL;DR: The combined results demonstrate that SMMs can be prepared that are significantly larger than any known to date and that this new, large Mn(30) complex still demonstrates quantum behavior.
