Magnetization Process of Single Molecule Magnets at Low Temperatures
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 SC lattices, m \propto sqrt(t), as observed in Fe_8, but only for
1+2*log_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 \propto t^p, but p \simeq 0.7. The value to which m finally levels
off is also given.Comment: 5 LaTeX pages, 2 figures. Submitted to Phys. Rev. Lett. on 26 January
