Abstract

Here we report the first inelastic neutron scattering study of the magnetic excitations in the incommensurate phase of a spin-Peierls material. The results on CuGeO3 provide direct evidence of a finite excitation gap, two sharp magnetic excitation branches and a very low-lying excitation which is identified as a phason mode, the Goldstone mode of the incommensurate soliton lattice.
