Abstract
The elastic moduli of fused quartz have been determined by ultrasonic measurements under high hydrostatic compressive stress and showed a nonlinear decrease to a minimum value at 2.1–2.5 GPa, and thereafter an increase with increasing pressure. Changes in the Debye temperature and the Grüneisen constant are determined using the present results. Assuming a contribution of the fourth-order elastic constants to the nonlinear dependence, C1111, C1112, C1122, and C1123 have been tentatively evaluated to be 11.0±1.0, 10.8±3.6, 22.7±11.1, and 8.6±2.0 TPa, respectively. However, the possibilities of a complicated potential curve or a higher-order phase transition are also discussed.
