Abstract
This paper reports on the results of acoustic investigations of a NaBi(MoO4)2 crystal in the temperature range from 20 to 70°C. The temperature dependences of the velocity of longitudinal ultrasonic waves propagating along the crystallographic axes z and x are measured at a frequency of 4 MHz. The results obtained demonstrate that a structural phase transition occurs in the NaBi(MoO4)2 crystal at a temperature of 309 K. The experimental findings are consistent with the assumption that the observed phase transition is either a second-order ferroelastic transition or a first-order ferroelastic transition that is very close to being a second-order phase transition.
