Temperature dependences of relaxation time, adiabatic and isothermal elastic moduli in ZnSe:Ni and ZnSe:Cr crystals obtained in an ultrasonic experiment

Abstract

Theory of ultrasonic absorption and dispersion, based on the Zener equation, was used for constructing the equations, those made it possible to restore the temperature dependences of relaxation time, adiabatic and isothermal elastic moduli on the basis of experimental data on the temperature dependences of ultrasound absorption and phase velocity. This method was used for processing the experimental results obtained in single crystals of ZnSe:Ni and ZnSe:Cr. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
