Low energy magnetic fluctuations in the TSDW phase of chromium

A polarized neutron study of chromium carried out in a field of 6T applied to a single-domain single-Q crystal indicates that the inelastic intensity observed close to the transverse spin density wave (TSDW) satellite positions (1 {+-} {delta}, 0,0) does not behave as expected for spin-wave scattering. In particular, the signal corresponds to magnetization fluctuations of almost equal magnitude both parallel and perpendicular to the ordered moments in the TSDW phase.
