Abstract:We report linear acoustic and acousto-optical properties of LiNa5Mo9O30 (LNM) single crystal. This relatively new crystal, known for its complex crystallographic structure, is optically biaxial with high birefringence of 0.2545 at 450.2 nm, and crystals that consist of molybdates are widely used in different applications, from cintillators, double β-decay detectors, “dark matter” sensors to electro optics. The lowest measured propagation velocity of shear wave was 1200 m/s, and for the longitudinal mode it was… Show more
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.
