Abstract

The velocities of "drifting" and "driftless" second sound at very low temperatures are calculated for 12 dielectrics having hexagonal crystal structure. The variation of the two second-sound velocities with density is studied for hcp He4. It is shown that the discrepancy pointed out by Maris between the experimental and theoretical values of the drifting second-sound velocities in hcp He4 can be reduced if another set of elastic constants is used in the calculations.
