H. Kawabe et al., Theoretical study on magnetic quantum tunneling of anisotropic spin systems with magnetic field, SYNTH METAL, 121(1-3), 2001, pp. 1784-1785
We propose a path integral method to investigate the quantum spin dynamics.
A centroid with spin is introduced as an average spin coordinate of a clos
ed isomorphic necklace of each spin space, so-called a spin centroid. We ca
lculate the magnetization of a system with total spin 1 and observe magneti
c quantum tunneling with magnetic field.
