Inelastic Neutron Scattering Study of Mn_12-Acetate
  We report zero-field inelastic neutron scattering experiments on a deuterated powder sample of Mn12-Acetate consisting of a large number of nominally identical spin-10 magnetic clusters. Our resolution enables us to see a series of peaks corresponding to transitions between the anisotropy levels within the spin-10 manifold. A fit to the spin Hamiltonian yields an anisotropy constant D=0.54 K and a fourth-order diagonal anisotropy coefficient A = 1.2x10^-3 K. Performed in the absence of a magnetic field, our experiments do not involve the g-values as fitting parameters, thereby yielding particularly reliable values of D and A.
