Abstract We report the discovery that the low-temperature magnetic relaxation in Mn12Ac single crystals strongly depends on the shape of the samples. The relaxation time exhibits a minimum at the phase transition point between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic phases. The shape dependence is attributed to the dipolar interaction between molecular magnets.
