Abstract
We analyze the adiabatic magnetization of ferromagnetic clusters in an intermediate-coupling regime, where the anisotropic potential is comparable to other energy scales. We find a nonmonotonic behavior of the magnetic susceptibility as a function of coupling with a peak. Coriolis coupling effects are calculated; they reduce the susceptibility somewhat.Keywords
