Abstract

The spin waves of metamagnetic hexagonal layer crystals, in particular, Ni${\mathrm{Cl}}_{2}$ and Co${\mathrm{Cl}}_{2}$, are calculated in a semicontinuum model. Temperature variations of the specific heat and of the sublattice magnetization due to the spin-wave excitations are derived and discussed.
