The molecular magnet Hpyr [Fe17 O16 (OH) 12 (py) 12 Br4] Br4 (" Fe17 ") has a well-defined cluster spin ground state of S=35/2 at low temperatures and an axial molecular anisotropy of only D-0.02K. Dipolar interactions between the molecular spins induce long-range magnetic order below 1.1 K. We report here the magnetic structure of Fe17, as determined by unpolarized neutron diffraction experiments performed on a polycrystalline sample of deuterated Fe17 in zero applied magnetic field. In addition, we report bulk susceptibility, magnetization, and specific heat data. The temperature dependence of the long-range magnetic order has been tracked and is well accounted for within mean-field theory. Ferromagnetic order along the crystallographic c axis of the molecular spins, as determined by the neutron diffraction experiments, is in agreement with ground-state dipolar energy calculations. © 2008 The American Physical Society.

Abstract
The molecular magnet Hpyr [Fe17 O16 (OH) 12 (py) 12 Br4] Br4 (" Fe17 ") has a well-defined cluster spin ground state of S=35/2 at low temperatures and an axial molecular anisotropy of only D-0.02K. Dipolar interactions between the molecular spins induce long-range magnetic order below 1.1 K. We report here the magnetic structure of Fe17, as determined by unpolarized neutron diffraction experiments performed on a polycrystalline sample of deuterated Fe17 in zero applied magnetic field. In addition, we report bulk susceptibility, magnetization, and specific heat data. The temperature dependence of the long-range magnetic order has been tracked and is well accounted for within mean-field theory. Ferromagnetic order along the crystallographic c axis of the molecular spins, as determined by the neutron diffraction experiments, is in agreement with ground-state dipolar energy calculations. © 2008 The American Physical Society.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
