Abstract

The pulse technique of echo ranging was used to measure the velocities of ultrasonic waves in cylindrical samples of solid argon for temperatures from 74°K to the triple point (83.80°K). The center portion of these cylinders of solid argon transported the acoustic waves in the manner of a single crystal. The direction of propagation of the ultrasonic waves was deduced to be [110]. Making use of the data of Jones and Sparkes for average continuous transverse waves taken at temperatures from 18 to 62°K, these pulsed ultrasonic-velocity data were extrapolated to the following values at 0°K: $v_{l} = 1555$ m/sec; $v_{t 1} = 1000$ m/sec; $v_{t 2} = 835$ m/sec. The elastic constants at 0°K calculated from these values were $c_{11} = 4.819 \times 10^{10}$ dyn/ ${cm}^{2}$ ; $c_{12} = 1.277 \times 10^{10}$ dyn/ ${cm}^{2}$ ; $c_{44} = 1.235 \times 10^{10}$ dyn/ ${cm}^{2}$ .
