(5.2.18), and (5.2.27) into (5.2.35), we finally obtain, at zero wave-vector,

The spin-wave energies deduced here, to second order in the expansion
in 1 /J ,dependontemperatureandonthecrystal-fieldmixingofthe
J z -eigenstates, and both dependences are introduced via the two corre-
lation functions m k and b k , given self-consistently by (5.2.32) in terms
of the energy parameters. B q ( T ) vanishes if there is no anisotropy, i.e.
if B 2 and B 6 are zero. In the case of single-ion anisotropy, B q ( T )isin-
dependent of q if the small second-order term in (5 . 2 . 38 b ) is neglected,
nor does it depend on the magnetic field, except for the slight field-
dependence which may occur via the correlation functions m and b .
When the spin-wave excitation energies have been calculated, it is a
straightforward matter to obtain the corresponding response functions.
