We have studied the exchange interactions and the hybridization effects of two kinds of magnetic excitations in CuMoOby using inelastic neutron scattering. This compound has two magnetic subsystems, i.e., the quasi-one-dimensional (q1D) antiferromagnetic (AF) spin system and the quantum spin dimers. We observe two branches in the magnetic excitations and obtain the magnetic parameters as follows. We evaluate the intrachain interactionmeV in the q1D AF spin system and the intradimer interactionmeV in the spin dimers. Applying the interchain mean-field theory (CMF) with the random-phase approximation (RPA), we estimate the mass gap of the q1D AF spin system as 1.2 meV. Using the CMF-RPA theory, the ferromagnetic interchain interaction between the magnetic chain along theaxis and the AF one between the magnetic chains at the center and the corner of the unit cell are estimated to bemeV, respectively. The hybridization parameter, which represents the intersubsystem interaction, has the wave-vector dependence as, wheremeV anddenotes the wave vector of magnetic excitation along thedirection. The modulation of the molecular field generated by the magnetic excitation of the q1D AF spin system plays an important role in this hybridization.
