Inelastic neutron scattering measurements have been performed to investigate the spin waves of the quasi-one-dimensional antiferromagnetic ladder compound BaFe 2 S 3 , where a superconducting transition was observed under pressure [H. Takahashi et al., Nat. Mater. 14, 1008 (2015); T. Yamauchi et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 246402 (2015)]. By fitting the spherically averaged experimental data collected on a powder sample to a Heisenberg Hamiltonian, we find that the one-dimensional antiferromagnetic ladder exhibits a strong nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic exchange interaction (SJ_R = - 71 ± 4 meV) along the rung direction, an antiferromagnetic SJ_L = 49 ± 3 meV along the leg direction, and a ferromagnetic SJ₂ = - 15 ± 2 meV along the diagonal direction. Finally, our data demonstrate that the antiferromagnetic spin excitations are a common characteristic for the iron-based superconductors, while specific relative values for the exchange interactions do not appear to be unique for the parent states of the superconducting materials.
