25 Summary The energy splittings between low-lying superpositions of high spin-states of Ni4 has been measured spectroscopically Energy relaxation has been measured in a cw experiment in a low-excitation limit by combining magnetic and microwave data acquired simultaneously The temperature dependence of the energy relaxation rate in Ni4 has been measured at two different frequencies. The data show that the spin relaxation is dominated by a phonon bottleneck at low temperatures and occurs by an Orbach mechanism at high temperature. To eliminate the phonon bottleneck requires B ω0 Γ sp,t Γ ph, T ph 10 ns Submicron scale crystals!!! Coherence is expected to play an important role in the collective spin-phonon relaxation in SMM crystals: The fact that the DME calculations+phonon bottleneck work so well to explain the data is somewhat surprising.
