Abstract

Neutron inelastic scattering measurements have been performed on amorphous Fe70Ni20Zr10. Spin waves were observed in the wave vector range 0.07 Å-1≤q≤0.12 Å-1 at temperatures 0.55Tc≤T≤0.89Tc. The spin-wave energies were well described by E=Δ+D(T)q2. The stiffness constant D(T) renormalizes as D(T)=D(0)[1+0.68(T/ Tc) 5 2], D(0)=(110.9±1.5) meV Å2. D(0) is about 1.5 times the value calculated from magnetization measurements.
