Abstract:
. The low-energy excitations of incommensurate antiferromagnetic Cr have been investigated by means of high-resolution, inelastic neutron scattering with unpolarized, cold neutrons within an energy range E$<$9 meV. In agreement with previous measurements we observe Fincher\textendash{}Burke excitations in the transverse spin density wave phase that appear between the unresolved spin-wave peaks at the incommensurate positions Q$\pm$=(1$\pm\delta$,0,0). In contrast to the previous measurements, our high-resolution data shows that the Fincher\textendash{}Burke modes do not follow a linear dispersion. Therefore, they have nothing in common with the acoustic phonon branch. The major part of the scattering is concentrated in the range 4 meV
