摘要
Combining recent and new inelastic neutron scattering data for the molecular cyclic cluster Cr-8 produces a deep understanding of the low lying excitations in bipartite antiferromagnetic Heisenberg rings. The existence of the L band, the lowest rotational band, and the E band, essentially spin wave excitations, is confirmed spectroscopically. The different significance of these excitations and their physical nature is clearly established by high-energy and Q-dependence data.
