Abstract
We present results of light-scattering experiments on thermal acoustic spin waves in EuO. The Brillouin spectra show two peaks which can be shifted by an external magnetic field. One of these is identified as due to a modified bulk spin wave of the material. The other one, by its anomalous behavior on reversal of the magnetic field or change of the scattering geometry, reveals itself as a spin wave propagating along the surface of the crystal.Keywords
