Tuning the spin dynamics of single molecule magnets via dipolar interactions

We present calculations of the dipolar field distribution acting on a single molecule magnet due to its neighbours in thin films. The calculations are presented for different packing/configuration scenarios, with different easy axis orientations. The potential for controlling the molecular spin dynamics by tuning the molecule-substrate interaction and its competition with intra-molecular interactions is discussed. We argue that by altering the configuration of the molecular moments, and thus their dipolar interactions, one can enhance or slow down their spin dynamics.
