Abstract
The fracton scaling model, and the efective-medium-approximation are used to describe the excitation spectrum of randomly diluted antiferromagnets. The calculated scattering structure factor exhibits a crossover from extended magnons to localized fractons. These calculations are in agreement with experimental data of inelastic-neutron-scattering off spin-waves in MnxZn1-xF2.
