Quadrupole Excitation in Tunnel Splitting Oscillation in Nanoparticle 𝐌𝐧12

We analyze the interference between tunneling paths that occur for a spin system with special Hamiltonian both for dipole and quadrupole excitations. Using an instanton approach, we find that as the strength of the second-order transverse anisotropy is increased, the tunnel splitting for both excita...
