Abstract
Neutron scattering experiments and theoretical calculations on CsNiCl3 show that linear theory fails for the spin wave polarization in the 3-D phase. In the 1-D phase the Haldane mode is observed to be a singlet-to-triplet excitation. We also comment on the wave vector dependence of the dynamic structure factor.
