Abstract

Inelastic neutron scattering experiments on the Haldane-gap quantum antiferromagnet Ni(C5D14N2)2N3(PF6) are performed at mK temperatures in magnetic fields of almost twice the critical field Hc applied perpendicular to the spin chains. Above Hc a reopening of the spin gap is clearly observed. In the high-field Néel-ordered state the spectrum is dominated by three distinct excitation branches. A theoretical model consistently describing the experimental data is proposed.
