Abstract
Spin waves whose activation energy in exchange approximation remains finite and is defined by exchange magnetic interaction integrals are called exchange spin waves (ESW). In antiferromagnets with n magnetic sublattices, collinear in exchange approximation the SW spectrum exhibits n - 2 exchange branches. Peculiarities of the ESW manifestation in the two-magnon absorption (TMA) and Raman scattering (RS) are traced in rhombic antiferromagnets.
