THE POLARIZATION OF ACOUSTIC WAVES IN CUBIC CRYSTALS.

Abstract

The directions of particle motion associated with acoustic waves have been computed and are displayed graphically, for each of the three waves, as a function of propagation direction. The numerical example used is cubic nickel and the maximum polarization angle found is 11 1/2 degrees. (Author)
