Determination of zone-boundary magnon energy and damping in RbMnF3 by means of light scattering experiments

New experimental data of two-magnon Raman scattering on the cubic antiferromagnet RbMnF 3 are used to obtain information on the single spin dynamics in all the ordered phase. The comparisons with the existing second order theory and with the neutron scattering data shows that the light scattering gives correct values for energy and lifetime of the zone boundary magnetic excitations.
