This paper contains a development of a method of calculating θ D values from elastic data (at low temperatures) originally given in Part II. 1—The general problem is that one is given the equation of motion of a continuum, and hence the velocity of the elastic waves as a function of the direction of the waves in a crystal and of the elastic constants; for specific heat purposes it is necessary to obtain from this equation the mean value of the velocity, and this is correlated fairly easily with the Debye θ D value.

An extensive numerical study on specific heat at constant volume (Cv) for ordered and isotopically disordered lattices has been made. Cv at various temperatures for ordered and disordered linear and two-dimensional lattices have been compared and no appreciable difference in Cv between these two structures has been observed. Effect of concentration of light atoms on Cv for three-dimensional isotopically disordered lattices has also been shown.In spite of taking next-nearest-neighbour interaction into account, no substantial change in Cv between the ordered and isotopically disordered linear lattices has been found. It is shown that the low lying modes contribute substantially at low temperatures.

The thermal conductivity between 0.4 and 4.2 K and in magnetic fields up to 50 kOe of KMgF 3 doped with Ni 2+ has been measured. The results are analysed to give values of the average spin-lattice coupling constants ( x Sl ) for the Ni 2+ ion. These are in agreement with values calculated using the magneto-elastic constants (GX1 and 6r44) derived from acoustic paramagnetic resonance (a.p.r.) experiments. Below IK the thermal resistivity as a function of magnetic field shows a number of anomalies, for which possible causes are discussed; it is concluded that they result from phonon interactions with exchange-coupled pairs of Ni 2+ ions. Such pairs are also observed in a.p.r. experiments.
