Abstract

A coupled-mode theory of spin-phonon excitations in a paramagnetic crystal containing ions having S > 1 2 is presented. The calculation is facilitated by the introduction of a Wick's theorem for operators of higher order than linear in the spin components. The theory is applied to Fe 2+ ions in MgO.
