Acoustic analogs of elasticity theory ratios for determining anisotropic Poisson ratios of cubic monocrystals

Abstract

The authors suggests new parameters for determining anisotropie Poisson's ratios a<;hkt>; of cubic crystals representing combinations of squared ratios of longitudinal and transverse elastic waves velocities along crystallographic directions <;100>; and <;110>;. We showed types of parameter and Poisson's ratio changes in the crystals of solid solutions Sm1-xYxS which undergo isostructural (NaCl-NaCl) electron (semiconductor-metal) phase transition of the 1st type under the critical concentration of xc = 0.15.
