“…As for Fe 2 B in the tetragonal structure, there are six independent elastic constants, C 11 , C 12 , C 13 , C 33 , C 44 , C 66 , because C 22 = C 11 , C 23 = C 13 , C 44 = C 55 as a result of the crystal symmetry. The single crystal elastic coefficients (C ij ) satisfy the stability criteria, which leads to the following restrictions on the elastic coefficients under isotropic pressure: 1, 2, 3, .…”
