of neighbouring ions, instead of the local strains. Evenson and Liu (1969)
have devised a simple procedure for replacing the local-strain variables in
the magnetoelastic Hamiltonian with the relative displacements of the
neighbouring ions. Using their procedure, and assuming the nearest-
neighbour interactions to be dominant, we find that eqn (5 . 4 . 41 b )is
replaced by
A k ( T )

c ε N 2

when k is along the c -axis. c is the lattice constant and F k ,
is the com-
ponent of F k parallel to the magnetization vector, which is only non-zero
for one of the transverse-phonon modes. This interaction does not dis-
tinguish between the two sublattices in the hcp crystal. This means
that W k ( ε ) only couples the magnons with the phonons at a certain k if
the modes are either both acoustic or both optical, consistent with the
double-zone representation in the c -direction. Except for the replace-
ment of (5 . 4 . 41 b ) by (5.4.43), the interaction Hamiltonian (5 . 4 . 41 a )is
unchanged. From the equations of motion of the Green functions, we
may derive the susceptibilities, when k is along the c -direction, in the
same way as before, eqns (5.4.29-36), and the results are found to be:
