The electron-phonon enhancement arises from the creation and annihilationof virtual phonons; similarly, the electron-magnon enhancement arises from the creation and annihilation ofvirtual magnons. However, there are important differences between thetwo cases. Firstly, because of the polarization ofthe conduction electrons, the Fermi surface for the spin-down electronslies outside the Fermi surface for spin-up electrons.(Direction of quantization is in the—z direction.) To create a spin wave at zero temperature, an electron on the spin-up Fermi surface has to be taken to the spin-down Fermi surface. Because of the gap between the Fermi surfaces, there will be a minimum energy for the creation of magnons by this process. Secondly, because of the dispersion law for long-wavelength magnons and also the polari-zation effect, the lifetime of electrons in the neighborhood of the Fermi energy is signifi-cantly different from the lifetimebecause of the electron-phonon interaction. We have calculated the electron self-energy part, using the pertubation theory developed by Giovannini, Peter, and Koide.
