Abstract:
We show that correlations established before quenching to very low temperatures later drive the magnetization process of systems of single molecule magnets, after a magnetic field is applied at t=0. We also show that in simple cubic lattices m proportional, variant sqrt[t], as observed in Fe8, but only for 1+2log((10)(h(d)/h(w)) time decades, where h(d) is a nearest neighbor dipolar magnetic field and a spin reversal can occur only if the field on it is within (-h(w),h(w)). However, the sqrt[t] behavior is not universal. For bcc and fcc lattices, m proportional, variant t(p), but p approximately 0.7. The value to which m finally levels off is also given.
