Abstract
The low-temperature magnetic excitations of the two-dimensional spin- square-lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet have been probed using pulsed inelastic neutron scattering. In addition to dominant sharp peaks identified with one-magnon excitations, a relatively weak continuum scattering is also observed at higher energies. This is attributed to neutron scattering by pairs of magnons and the observed intensities are consistent with predictions of spin wave theory.
