| The effects concerning magnetic and nuclear excitations in a single crystal of Sendust alloy (73.5 at.% Fe, 9.5 at.% Al, 17 at.% Si) are discussed. The excitations have been investigated by means of elastic and inelastic neutron scattering with the use of triple axis and small angle spectrometer. A few potential causes of spin wave damping in Sendust, like interactions of excitations or small-size precipitations of different compositions or directions of magnetization were disproved. It is suggested that one- and two-phonon scattering can explain observed strong increase of incoherent inelastic scattering with temperature. |
