Abstract
In the S=½ linear Heisenberg antiferromagnet (HB AF)
although investigated by various theoretical approaches -many important questions concerning the statics and the dynamics have remained open. Recent low-temperature neutron-scattering experiments on CuCl2•2N(C5H5) (CPC), which is a good realization of an S=½ HB AF chain, provided new important information on the dynamics of the system, such as lineshapes and the behaviour in a magnetic field /1/. The important quantity for direct comparison with experiments of this kind is the dynamic spin-correlation function in (q,ω) -space. It is the Fourier transform of <SZ (l, t) Sz (l′, o) >, and for T=o it can be written as
