Quantum Tunneling of Magnetization in Tilted Toroidal Systems — •Jonas Waltenberg and Jürgen Schnack — Bielefeld University

Molecular magnets with a toroidal arrangement of the easy anisotropy axes are often viewed as promising candidates for magnetic storage and quantum computing [1,2]. For this a high stability against perturbations like external magnetic fields is needed. As a measure of this stability the tunneling matrix elements for spin systems of different sizes with easy anisotropy axes tilted from the collinear arrangement to the toroidal arrangement are calculated. It is discussed which systems are stable against this quantum tunneling of magnetization.
