Abstract
In this paper we report a detailed neutron scattering study of the spin fluctuations in the random one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet with and . In this material the Mn-Cu exchange is only about 4% of the Mn-Mn exchange so that this system corresponds to a "weak-link" impure chain. For temperatures such that percolationlike behavior is observed, while for "weak-link" behavior obtains. The instantaneous magnetic correlations are found to be in good quantitative accord with the exact results for the random classical Heisenberg model. We also discuss briefly the spin-wave excitations at large 's and the spin dynamics for , the inverse correlation length.
