Measurement of the spin-wave specific heat of antiferromagnetic CoCl26H2O and NiCl26H2O
Proceedings of the Physical Society1965Vol. 85(6), pp. 1209–1213
Abstract
Measurement of the spin-wave specific heat of two antiferromagnetic salts CoCl26H2O and NiCl26H2O is reported in the temperature range 0.7 °K to 4.0 °K. The temperature dependence of the specific heat of both salts is that which would be predicted by spin-wave theory were the energy gap in the spin-wave dispersion relation less than or equal to approximately half the value obtained by antiferromagnetic resonance. The presence of states within the spin-wave energy gap is discussed.
