Abstract
Motivated by the achievements of the x-ray scattering technique, we analyzed the profile of the light scattering cross section at a finite in a 2D Heisenberg antiferromagnet. Previous Raman scattering studies at identified the two-magnon peak in scattering geometry. We found that the peak disperses downwards at a finite , and its cross section increases, reaching its maximum at and symmetry related points. In addition, the cross-section in the geometry becomes nonzero at a finite , and also displays a two-magnon peak which gains strength and disperses to larger frequencies with increasing , and reaches its highest cross section at . We found that the profile of is equivalent in and geometries.
