Spin-wave Response in the Dilute Quasi-one-dimensional Ising-Like Antiferromagnet CsCo0.83Mg0.17Br3

Inelastic neutron-scattering profiles of spin waves in the dilute quasi-one-dimensional Ising-like antiferromagnet CsCo{sub 0.83}Mg{sub 0.17}Br{sub 3} have been investigated. Calculations of S{sup xx}(Q,{omega}), based on an effective spin Hamiltonian, accurately describe the experimental spin-wave spectrum of the 2J mode. The Q dependence of the energy of this spin-wave mode follows the analytical prediction {omega}{sub xx}(Q)=(2J)(1-5{var_epsilon}{sup 2}cos{sup 2}Qa+2{var_epsilon}{sup 2}){sup 1/2}, calculated by Ishimura and Shiba using perturbation theory.
