Classical and quantum magnetism in giant Keplerate magnetic molecules

Chemphyschem. 2001 Sep 17;2(8-9):517-21. doi: 10.1002/1439-7641(20010917)2:8/9<517::AID-CPHC517>3.0.CO;2-1.

Abstract

Complementary theoretical modeling methods are presented for the classical and quantum Heisenberg model to explain the magnetic properties of nanometer-sized magnetic molecules. Excellent quantitative agreement is achieved between our experimental data down to 0.1 K and for fields up to 60 Tesla and our theoretical results for the giant Keplerate species {Mo72Fe30}, by far the largest paramagnetic molecule synthesized to date.
