The adiabatic elastic constants of two garnets (spessartite‐almandite and almandite), spinel (synthetic), rutile (synthetic), and olivine are reported. The stiffness constants Cpq were determined from the velocities of acoustic wave propagation in crystals. The velocities of wave propagation were measured by McSkimin's method. A frequency range of 6 to 12 Mc/s was used.
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.
