Abstract
Constant‐energy scans in neutron scattering provide a very sensitive tool for testing theoretical line shapes in detail. In order to verify the predictions of asymptotic renormalization‐group theory for isotropic ferromagnets above TC we measured the temperature dependence of the paramagnetic scattering from the Heisenberg ferromagnet EuS. The width of the constant‐E peaks increases with increasing temperature as predicted. Surprisingly the positions do not scale. The nonuniversal behavior is attributed to the crossover from isotropic to dipolar dynamics.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
