Abstract: | Dephasing mechanism of quantum tunnelling in molecular magnets has
been studied by means of the spin-coherent-state path integral in a
mean field approximation. It is found that the fluctuating
uncompensated transverse field from the dipolar-dipolar interaction
between molecular magnets contributes a random phase to the quantum
interference phase. The resulting transition rate is determined by
the average tunnel splitting over the random phase. Such a dephasing
process leads to the suppression of quenching due to the quantum
phase interference, and to the steps due to odd resonances in
hysteresis loop survived, which is in good agreement with
experimental observations in molecular nanomagnets Fe8 and
