Light Scattering by Spin Waves

Light scattering by spin waves in the rutile-structure antiferromagnets MnF2 and FeF2 is reviewed. Emphasis is placed upon details of the experimental results and technique. The relations of first- and second-order spin-wave scatterings to the magnon dispersion relation are discussed. We show that f...

Description
Summary:Light scattering by spin waves in the rutile-structure antiferromagnets MnF2 and FeF2 is reviewed. Emphasis is placed upon details of the experimental results and technique. The relations of first- and second-order spin-wave scatterings to the magnon dispersion relation are discussed. We show that for FeF2 the entire magnon dispersion curve can be inferred from results of a single light-scattering experiment.
