文摘Here a direct calculation of the dipolar interaction in a single crystal Mn12, with all of Mn ions summed, shows that a transition between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic ground states takes place where the dimension along the α（b） axis versus the dimension along the c axis reaches a certain critical value. It is shown that the w ~ ~ ground state is dependent upon the shape of the specimen. The reason of the shape dependence of ordering is that dipolar interaction is of long-range nature and the sign of dipolar interaction is dependent on the direction.
