The elastic moduli of hexagonal beryllium oxide, zinc sulfide, and cadmium selenide at 25°C have been determined by measuring ultrasonic wave velocities in the 20- to 50-MHz frequency range. The data are compared with other literature data and discrepancies are discussed. The adiabatic bulk modulus, volume compressibility, and Debye temperatures are also computed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
