Abstract

A pulse technique at 10 Mc/sec. has been used to measure acoustic velocity and attenuation of several alkali halides and Rochelle salt. Values for the elastic moduli of LiF, NaCl, BRr, and KI have been determined. The attenuation of the ultrasonic beam in these media is small. Corresponding measurements on the elastic moduli of Rochelle salt are reported. Under the assumption of plane wave transmission many of these moduli automatically correspond to those measured on foiled crystals by other methods. Attenuation is considerable in Rochelle salt, and appears to be excessively high for transmission involving the temperature-dependent c44 (foiled case). Where this modulus is involved marked effects have been observed from electric bias and mechanical pressure. A complete set of elastic moduli has been obtained and used to calculate the corresponding values for the moduli of compliance.
