Abstract

The magnetic and structural dynamics in liquid oxygen are studied by means of high-resolution inelastic neutron scattering and computer molecular-dynamics simulations. The former technique enables an approximate separation between nuclear and magnetic responses from the total, unpolarized neutron double differential cross-sections. The magnetic scattering spectra are then shown to reproduce the wave vector dependence of the inelastic intensities associated with the magnetic excitations measured in a previous study. Finally, the magnetic spectral functions are shown to be well reproduced by a model of exchange-coupled paramagnet and estimates of the exchange parameter and correlation length are obtained from the analysis of the frequency moments.
