Abstract
We calculate spin-autocorrelation functions (as time averages over chaotic trajectories) and their intensity spectra for clusters of two classical spins, interacting via a nonintegrable Hamiltonian. The long-time behaviour observed includes both power-law decay and persistent oscillatory components, resulting in an intensity spectrum with power-law singularities and discrete lines.
