Why is the dispersion relation of magnons quadratic in k for small wavelengths?

[PLuz]

Hello,

Can anyone explain to me why, concept wise (not from calculations that I get it), is the dispersion relation of magnons (spin waves) quadratic in k for small wavelengths?

Also, can you give me other examples where such behavior appears?

Thank you
