Abstract
In the first part we investigate in detail if the Bose-Einstein condensation scenario for magnons can quantitatively explain the observed field-induced magnetic ordering in TlCuCl$_3$. We use a bond-operator approach to map the spin system onto hard-core bosons and exactly account for the hard-core constraint in the dilute limit. We solve the hard-core model within the Hartree-Fock-Popov approximation and discuss its validity and the consequences of this approximation for the critical properties. In the second part the effects of spin-phonon and spin-orbit coupling are discussed within this framework. We show that the experimental magnetization and specific heat data are well described if a certain type of anisotropy is included. We also present predictions for the quasiparticle gap which might be tested in the future.
