Abstract

Results from recent calculations of the neutron-scattering cross section for energy transfer up to 1 eV have led to a new picture of spin waves in nickel, one in which spin waves exist out to the zone boundary. Our prediction of the dispersion curve and peak widths is in general agreement with data from subsequent neutron-scattering experiments. This provides additional evidence that the ''average'' spin-splitting energy for nickel is in the 300- to 400-meV range.
