Macroscopic quantum effects generated by acoustic waves in a molecular magnet
Abstract
We have shown that the size of the magnetization step due to resonant spin tunneling in a molecular magnet can be strongly affected by sound. The transverse-acoustic wave can also generate macroscopic quantum beats of the magnetization during the field sweep.
