Inelastic neutron scattering, probing the temporal spin-spin correlation at the different microscopic scale, is a powerful technique to study the magnetic behaviour of ferromagnetic crystals. In addition, high penetration power of neutron in samples has made it as a useful way for spin-spin interaction in neutron scattering. Changes in the magnetic cross section in term of different energy transfer and temperatures are calculated for nickel and iron as transition metals in Heisenberg model versus spin wave theory by considering atomic form factor. Finally, the effect of magnetic structure and behaviour of crystal in measuring cross-section shows that increasing temperature results in the Cross-section increase Also, the existence of propagating spin waves below Tc is compared in Ni and Fe in different momentum transfers. The relation of spin wave energy with temperature dependence of nickel has created different behaviour in the changes of cross section rather than iron.

We present the classical antiferromagnet MnF2 as a perfect demonstration system for teaching a remarkably wide variety of neutron scattering concepts. The nature of antiferromagnetism and the magnetic Hamiltonian in this classical antiferromagnet are discussed. The transition temperature to the Neel state, the value of magnetic moment in the ordered state, the critical scattering close to the phase transition, spin waves associated with the ordering of the moments, as well as their dispersion and temperature dependences are determined experimentally. Parameters such as the Neel transition temperature and exchange coupling constants obtained from the experiments agree reasonably well with the previously published data. In addition, details of how an inelastic neutron scattering experiment is performed by means of triple-axis spectroscopy are provided.
