摘要： The thermally assisted resonant tunnelling in a single crystal (Mn$_{0.96}$Cr$_{0.04}$)12-ac is studied in this paper. The obtained hysteresis loops at seven different temperatures between 1.8 and 3K show obvious dependence on temperature. The magnetization steps occur at specific field values of $nH_{\rm R}$ with $H_{\rm R}$≈0.46T, which are approximately independent of the temperature. As the temperature decreases, the area enclosed in the hysteresis loops and the actual number n of the resonances increase, which provides clear evidence of thermally assisted resonant tunnelling in (Mn$_{0.96}$Cr$_{0.04}$)12-ac.

As the temperature decreases, the area enclosed in the hysteresis loops and the actual number n of the resonances increase, which provides clear evidence of thermally assisted resonant tunnelling in (Mn$_{0.96}$Cr$_{0.04}$)12-ac.
