By means of the triple axis Cracow neutron spectrometer installed at Vinca (Yugoslavia), coherent inelastic scattering of monochromatic neutrons (λ0 = 1.376 Å) connected with τ = (001) was investigated at various temperatures above room temperature up to 400 °C, i.e. above the critical point (TN = 320 °C) of the spin alignment in pyrrhotite. The intensity of the (001) scattering cone increases with temperature but its magnon character does not change. Only at temperatures above 200 °C do the widths of the magnon peaks begin to increase. This temperature is not very sensitive to the energy of a given magnon group. The high degree of inelasticity is maintained over the critical point region and the mean energy transfer is close to the one for...
