  The spin one half molecular system V15 shows no barrier against spin
reversal. This makes possible direct phonon activation between the two levels.
By tuning the field sweeping rate and the thermal coupling between sample and
thermal reservoir we have control over the phonon-bottleneck phenomena
previously reported in this system. We demonstrate adiabatic motion of molecule
spins in time dependent magnetic fields and with different thermal coupling to
the cryostat bath. We also discuss the origin of the zero-field tunneling
splitting for a half-integer spin.
