The slow dynamics (10-6 s–104 s) of the magnetization
in the paramagnetic phase, predicted by Glauber
for the 1d Ising model, has been observed with
ac susceptibility and SQUID magnetometry measurements in a molecular chain
comprising alternating Co2+ spins and organic radical spins
strongly antiferromagnetically coupled to give a 1d ferrimagnet.
An Arrhenius behavior with activation energy K
has been observed for ten decades of relaxation time
and found to be consistent with the Glauber model.
We have extended this model to take into account the
ferrimagnetic nature of the chain as well as its
helicoidal crystal structure.
