Abstract

The velocities of the ultrasonic waves in sodium chlorate crystal, viz., V12 and V13, with propagation direction (100) and vibration direction (010) and (001), respectively, are found to be equal to within 0.1%. This shows that the classical theory of elasticity is adequate to describe the elastic behavior. The elastic constants of this crystal, obtained by the author using the pulse-echo method, are also reported. The effect of piezoelectricity on the elastic constants of sodium chlorate crystal is shown to be too small, well within the present experimental accuracy.
