Abstract

Neutron Brillouin scattering (NBS) method was developed using a pulsed spallation neutron source, and the feasibility of NBS was demonstrated by observing ferromagnetic spin waves in La0.8_{0.8}Sr0.2_{0.2}MnO3_3 and SrRuO3_3 powders. Gapless spin-wave excitations were observed in La0.8_{0.8}Sr0.2_{0.2}MnO3_3, which were continuously extended to the lower scattering vector QQ from previous results using single crystals. The novel result is a well-defined quadratic QQ dependence in the spin-wave dispersion curve with a large energy gap in SrRuO3_3 indicating robust spin-orbit coupling.
