Notes:
We have performed inelastic neutron scattering measurements of the long-wavelength spin wave excitations of both ordered and disordered Fe72Pt28 single crystals below their critical temperatures, TC=510 and 375 K, respectively. The spin waves followed the expected E=Dq2 dependence, and the temperature-dependent spin stiffness D decreased as (T/TC)5/2, as expected for an isotropic ferromagnet. The extrapolated zero-temperature spin stiffness was D=98(4) meV A(ring)2 and 107(1) meV A(ring)2 for the disordered and ordered alloy, respectively. These values are significantly higher than the zero-temperature stiffness as determined by magnetization measurements.
