Abstract

Dynamical susceptibility of metallic chromium (Cr) has been elucidated by using neutron magnetic scattering technique. Systematic studies in a wide energy range at various temperatures revealed that magnetic excitations in the antiferromagnetic state of Cr well below Néel temperature are not interpreted by a simple spin-wave mode like in the conventionally ordered magnet. The most prominent feature of spin dynamics in the incommensurate spin density wave (SDW) state is that magnetic excitations consist of two components having incommensurate and commensurate wave vector in the reciprocal space. Energy and temperature dependence of such magnetic excitations is also unusual, which may reflect the characteristic band structure of Cr.
