For the first time, the morphology and dynamics of spin avalanches in
Mn12-Acetate crystals using magneto-optical imaging has been explored. We
observe an inhomogeneous relaxation of the magnetization, the spins reversing
first at one edge of the crystal and a few milliseconds later at the other end.
Our data fit well with the theory of magnetic deflagration, demonstrating that
very slow deflagration rates can be obtained, which makes new types of
experiments possible.Comment: 5 two-column pages, 3 figures, EPL styl

You each play an invaluable role in the promotion, prestige, development and success of the journal and thereforeyour continued support is greatly appreciated.The Directors’ vision for EPL to become a leading home for global physics letters, to offer rapid publication ofground-breaking physics results from the international community, and to provide the broadest coverage of physicsresearch, is beginning to take shape as increased submissions, reduced acceptance rates, raised scientific quality, rapidpublication, and greater visibility amongst the community are achieved.The latest published articles will continue to be freely available for 30 days from their on-line publication. Thosearticles highlighted by the Co-Editors in 2008 will remain free-to-all for the entire of 2009.We invite you to visit the website regularly (http://www.epljournal.org) to stay up-to-date with the journal’slatest developments and to read the most recent articles.Our most recent opportunity publicized on the EPL website and in the CERN SCOAP3 (Sponsoring Consortiumfor Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics) messages is below:Open Access Opportunity for Authors of Experimental and Theoretical HEP ArticlesEPL is delighted to offer open access free of charge to all authors submitting experimental and theoretical lettersin PACS codes 10 and 20. This offer will remain open until the SCOAP3 agreement at CERN takes effect.Authors submitting any article to EPL will continue to be offered the opportunity to make their published letteropen access for a one-off payment. However, with effect from 1 November 2008, any author who submits work relatedto subject areas within PACS 10 and 20 will benefit from open access at no charge, meaning their published article willbe available free to all readers, forever. “Physics of Elementary Particles and Fields” and “Nuclear Physics” are tworesearch areas focusing on the HEP community, that the EPLA Directors recognize as significant to the broadbanddevelopment of EPL, and they endeavour to increase the number of high-quality research letters published in thesefields, to engage more closely with the High Energy Physics community, and to strengthen and promote the journal.All submitted articles will still be subject to rigorous peer review to maintain the high standard of articles publishedin EPL, and will benefit from expert leadership within the Editorial Board and rapid publication in addition to openaccess. You are invited to submit your paper now on https://www.epletters.net to take advantage of this fantasticoffer.If you have comments or questions about changes taking place in 2009, please e-mail us at info@epljournal.orgor editorial.office@epletters.net.With our best wishes for 2009!The EPL Management TeamCopyright c© EPLA, 2008
