The temperature dependence of the efficiency of the electromagnetic excitation of elastic waves and that of the velocities of transverse and longitudinal sound in polycrystalline α-Mn have been studied. The spontaneous striction of the antiferromagnetic transition (the magnetic volume) has been determined: W^z 8X10". The magnetic Griineisen parameter in the antiferromagnetic phase has also been determined: TM = — 47.
