27. The large constant χ′ at high ω does not reveal a large χS, but it corresponds to the χT of a minority fraction of clusters with different magnetic parameters (lower D) due to thermodynamic defects. For a discussion on the nature of these defects see, for instance, Z. Sun, D. Ruiz, N. R. Dilley, M. Soler, J. Ribas, K. Folting, B. Maple, G. Christou, and D. N. Hendrickson, Chem. Commun.

42. Dipole-dipole interactions between molecular spins could in principle contribute to decoherence. Experimental evidence, however, shows that the broadening of the Mn12 excited levels is predominantly homogeneous [see Ref., and W. Wernsdorfer, R. Sessoli, and D. Gatteschi, Europhys. Lett. EULEEJ 0295-5075 10.1209/epl/i1999-00380-5 47, 254 (1999)]. Therefore, the decoherence mechanism considered here is probably giving the dominant contribution.
