Abstract
The magnetic excitations in CsFeBr3 have been measured with inelastic scattering of cold neutrons to high precision at 80 mK. The fact that the lowest frequency mode softens with decreasing temperature but stabilizes at 0.11 THz below 2.5 K is the indication that CsFeBr3 remains a SGS system forT→0.
From dispersion curves measured earlier in a magnetic field along the chain axis experimental intensities were derived and in turn correlation lengths. Correlation lengths were also calculated using the new parameters for exchange and anisotropy. The experimental results and the calculations both show that the correlation lengths increase for increasing magnetic field, flatten off around the phase transformation at 4.1 Tesla with a maximum of about 35 Å and then decrease again for higher fields. No critical phenomena connected with this phase transformation could be detected.
The “Mirror Mode” published earlier was found to be of spurious origin due to double scattering. It does not exist.
