We present an inelastic neutron scattering study on single-crystalline LiFeAs devoted to the characterization of the previously reported incommensurate antiferromagnetic fluctuations [1]. Time-of-flight measurements show their presence up to an energy transfer of 60 meV, while polarized neutrons in combination with longitudinal polarization analysis on a triple-axis spectrometer prove the pure magnetic origin of this signal. The normalization of the scattered intensity to an absolute scale yields that the magnetic fluctuations in LiFeAs are by a factor 8 weaker than in nearly optimally Co-doped BaFe2As2, although a factor 2 is recovered due to the incommensurability. The longitudinal polarization analysis gives hints for a weak spin-space anisotropy with slightly stronger out-of-plane component between 6 and 14 meV. Furthermore, our data suggest a fine structure of the magnetic signal most likely arising from two nesting vectors.
