Abstract
We report the combined measurements of the dc susceptibility , the ac susceptibility , and the NMR relaxation rate for the molecular-based heterometallic single-chain magnet . At low temperatures, this system is well described by a one-dimensional array of effective spin chains comprising the trimers and treated as the Ising chain with the single-ion term (Blume-Capel model). Using the exact solution of the model and based on the picture that the random motion of the local domain walls dominates the low-temperature spin dynamics, we succeeded in reproducing the experimental results of the dc susceptibility , the ac susceptibility , and the relaxation rate in a consistent manner.
