| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have investigated spin dynamics of single-molecule magnets (SMM) with lanthanide ions by means of neutron scattering techniques. The complexes with Kramers ion, Ce and Nd, echibit the SMM behavior; the relaxation of magnetization reversal is observed in the millisecond range. On the other hand, the complex with non-Kramers ion, Pr, is non-SMM. Inelastic neutron scattering works demonstrated that magnetic excitations are not detectable in the Ce and Nd complexes, while the Pr one clearly displays a low-energy excitation peak. These results suggest that spin parity is deeply correlated with magnetization reversal and appearance of low-energy excitations.
