Abstract: | Muon spin relaxation measurements in isotropic molecular magnets (MM) with a spin value S ranging from 7/2 to 27/2 are used to determine the magnitude and origin of dephasing time tau(phi) of molecular magnets. It is found that tau(phi) approximately 10 nsec with no S or ligand dependence. This indicates a nuclear origin for the stochastic field. Since tau(phi) is a property of the environment, we argue that it is a number common to similar types of MM. Therefore, tau(phi) is shorter than the Zener and tunneling times of anisotropic MM such as Fe(8) or Mn(4) for standard laboratory sweep rates. Our findings call for a stochastic Landau-Zener theory in this particular case. |
