Abstract
The acoustic phonon dispersion curves for CoCl 2 have been measured, in the three principal symmetry directions, by inelastic neutron scattering at room temperature. From the initial slopes the sound velocities have been derived and the elastic constants calculated. The two dimensional nature of the structure of CoCl 2 is apparent in the difference between the sound velocities parallel and perpendicular to the closed packed layers.
