    Abstract

    The importance of higher-order exchange interaction in localized S-state systems is discussed. The equation of motion is solved for a one-dimensional antiferromagnet with bilinear and biquadratic exchange coupling. It is shown that the biquadratic exchange interaction usually cannot be derived from the observed spin-wave dispersion, but is susceptible to experimental determination from the excitation spectra of small clusters of magnetic ions as exemplified for CsMnxMg1-xBr3 by inelastic neutron scattering.
