Article Description

We use a stochastic theory approach to discuss different scenarios such as “locked moment” and “superparamagnetic” behavior of magnetic clusters seen in Stern-Gerlach (SG) experiments. A dimensionless parameter (Formula presented) (where λ is an internal spin relaxation rate and (Formula presented) is the time spent by the cluster in the field gradient region) and the initial polarization of the cluster moment are shown to determine sensitively the position of the cluster beam on the SG screen. © 1998 The American Physical Society.
