The temperature dependence of the spin-wave gap in the triangular antiferromagnet CsMnBr3 was studied above the three-dimensional ordering temperature TN=8.3 K along the main symmetry directions using inelastic neutron scattering. We find at TN two gapped dispersive modes, whose energy increases with temperature. Moreover, the width of the spin-wave band along the [110] direction increases also. In a second session, polarization analysis was applied in order to extract explicitly the components with in-plane and out-of-plane character. The results show that both gapped modes (with $\parallel$ and $\perp$ symmetry) renormalize upwards with rising temperature. We show that this behavior is not compatible with spin-wave theory. In addition, we find a new magnetic anomaly in the paramagnetic phase.     «
