21. In ref. 13, Terada et al. have presented the spin-wave branch which is also referred to as "HE-branch". However, the "HE-branch" in ref. 13 is not symmetric with respect to the magnetic zone center, and is entirely different from the "true" HE-branch presented in this paper. This misidentification of the spin-wave dispersion relation is due to the contamination of the scattering from the other domains.
