Abstract
The temperature ( T ), frequency ( w ), Onsager coefficient (γ) and external magnetic field ( H ) dependencies of the sound attenuation near the phase transition temperature ( T c ) is studied for the spin-1 Ising model on the Bethe lattice for given coordination numbers q in terms of the recursion relations by using Onsager theory of irreversible thermodynamics. It was assumed that the sound wave couples to the order-parameter fluctuations which decay mainly via the order-parameter relaxation process. Two relaxation times are obtained and which are used to find an expression for the sound attenuation coefficient (α). It was found that α presents only one peak for all frequencies when q =6, and two peaks for q =3 and 4 at low frequencies. In addition, α increases with the increasing values of frequency and with the decreasing values of external magnetic field.
