Geometric propagation of acoustic phonons in monocrystals within anisotropic continuum acoustics

Part I. Sapphire and Quartz

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

A detailed study of anisotropic phonon propagation in sapphire and quartz is made by means of energy surfaces, group-velocity surfaces and intensity surfaces which were all determined numerically from published elastic constants. For convenience these surfaces are presented in threedimensional representations.
