Abstract

In this paper we review the work done on magnetic relaxation during the last ten years on both single domain particles and magnetic molecules and its contribution to the discovery of quantum tunneling of the magnetic moment. We present first the theoretical expressions and their connection to quantum relaxation and secondly we show and discuss the experimental results.
