Description
The magnetic excitations propagating along the c axis in the longitudinally modulated magnetic phase of erbium metal have been measured as a function of temperature by neutron inelastic scattering. Both transverse and longitudinal excitations have been studied. Some measurements have also been carried out for the paramagnetic phase. The results for the ordered phase are in substantial agreement with calculations based on a random-phase-approximation theory and previously published parameters for the exchange and crystal-field interactions
