摘要
Theory and experiment are presented for the ultrasonic attenuation of the rare-earth metals. In the helical spin state of the metals, the sound energy transferred to the spin system is dissipated to the lattice by the spin rotation around the c axis, arising from the spin-lattice relaxation mechanism, which may explain the large increases of the attenuation observed on Dy and Ho single crystals below their Néel temperatures. © 1968 The American Physical Society.
