Abstract

The sound velocity in liquid cesium under pressures up to 60 MPa and temperatures to 1500 K is measured using a modified-pulses phase-sensitive technique. The sound velocity (at frequency 10 MHz) is determined by means of the pulse propagation time measurement through the cesium sample. The experimental error is 0.2%. The results obtained are discussed.
