摘要: The quantum tunnelling of magnetization (QTM) in single crystals of the single molecule magnet (Mn$_{1-x}$Cr$_x$)12-Ac ($x$=0, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05) has been investigated. In comparison with its parent Mn12-Ac, a greater rate of magnetization relaxation and a lower effective potential-energy barrier have been observed in Cr-doping samples. This modulation of QTM due to the Cr-doping could be attributed to the small change of $S_z$ due to the smaller spin of Cr itself and additional intrinsic but distributed transverse and longitudinal anisotropy raised by a subtle change of the local environment in the magnetic Mn12 core.
