Abstract

We present the results of an inelastic neutron-scattering study on two bond disordered quasi-two-dimensional quantum magnets (C₄H ₁₂N₂)Cu₂(Cl_1-xBr_x) ₆ with x=0.035 and 0.075. We observe an increase of spin gap, a reduction of magnon bandwidth, and a decrease of magnon lifetimes compared to the x=0 sample. Additional magnon damping is observed at higher energies away from the zone center, which is found to follow the density of single-particle states.
