It is observed that contribution from (Sd)–f hybridization associated with the local field correction can be approximated by a short‐range (Born‐Mayer) potential in the phonon spectrum of thorium in the framework of a rare‐earth metal model potential (REMMP) method. Calculated results agree reasonably well with experiment.
