TheHeisenberg linear chain antiferromagnet is the simplest spin model; nevertheless it serves as a platform for various quantum many-body phenomena. Here, we report the magnetic behavior of a quasi-one-dimensional antiferromagnet. A long-range commensurate antiferromagnetic order with ordered moment 0.31(1)per spin occurs atK. Above, the inelastic neutron excitation is characterized by a two spinon continuum. The intrachain interactionand interchain interactionare estimated to be 172 and 4.25(4) K, respectively; thus the ratio of. At lower energies, below, a spin gap is observed in the dispersive excitations. These results are consistent with characteristics observed in a weakly interactingHeisenberg chain system.
