Abstract

A symmetry analysis was described of possible magnetic phase transitions to incommensurate structures from the paramagnetic state in layered tetragonal crystals. The propagation was analyzed of longitudinal elastic waves near such transitions. The critical behavior was found of the longitudinal sound velocity in the FeGe2 compound, which depends on temperature in a power-law manner using the renormalization group approach. The reasons were indicated for the greatest change in the velocity of longitudinal elastic waves propagating along the [100] direction based on the theory of the crystal field in this compound. The response function has been determined near the critical point of the transition to an incommensurate phase of the type of a longitudinal spin wave.
