Abstract
A many-ion spin-orbit interaction in magnetic materials is pointed out which explains the existence of a previously anomalous infrared absorption line at a frequency of 154 cm-1 in antiferromagnetic FeF2. The interaction also provides a possible explanation for the existence of a magnon sideband recently observed in the antiferromagnet MnF2. The experiments on FeF2 are described and compared with the theory.
