Quantum tunneling of magnetization in ultrasmall half-metallic V3O4 quantum dots : displaying quantum superparamagnetic state by Xiao, Chong, Zhang, Jiajia, Xu, Jie, Tong, Wei, Cao, Boxiao, Li, Kun, Pan, Bicai, Su, Haibin, Xie, Yi

“…The quantum superparamagnetic state (QSP) as a high temperature signature of QTMs is observed at 16 K, which is beyond absolute zero temperature and much higher than that of conventional iron-based compounds due to the stronger spin-orbital coupling of V3+ ions bringing high anisotropy energy. It is undoubtedly that this ultrasmall quantum dots, V3O4, offers not only a promising candidate for theoretical understanding of QTMs but also a very exciting possibility for computers using mesoscopic magnets.…”
