Phys Rev Lett. 2005 Jul 29;95(5):057202. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.95.057202. Epub 2005 Jul 27.

Abstract

From inelastic neutron scattering experiments, we demonstrate quantum tunneling of the Néel vector in the antiferromagnetic molecular ferric wheel CsFe8. Analysis of the linewidth of the tunneling transition evidences coherent tunneling.
