Abstract: | A preliminary heat capacity study of Fe8 molecules as a function of applied magnetic field, temperature and measuring frequency is presented. The heat capacity versus temperature curve shows in zero field several peaks between 2 and 3 K. The anomalies shift to a lower temperature when a magnetic field is applied. With increasing field the peaks are smeared. No frequency dependence could be established in the measured range of ω =217–4440 Hz. We have also performed heat capacity measurements as a function of magnetic field at fixed temperature. Between 2 and 3 K a pattern of well developed peaks at discrete magnetic field values is observed. The pattern strongly changes in the small temperature range between 2.3 and 2.5 K. |
