Resumo

In order to compare linear spin-wave theory with the effects of nonlinear excitations in spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg ferromagnetic chains, we have studied the differential susceptibility of (${\mathrm{C}}_{6}$${\mathrm{H}}_{11}$${\mathrm{NH}}_{3}$)${\mathrm{CuCl}}_{3}$ in the region 4.2 K<T40 K, in fields of 0, 1, 2, and 3 T. The data are analyzed in terms of linear spin-wave theory and a nonlinear theory which includes bound-magnon effects. Our analysis shows that linear spin-wave theory cannot describe the data, and that the susceptibility is dominated by the bound-magnon contribution. The correspondence between bound magnons and solitons is discussed.
