The theory of ultrasonic attenuation in metals is extended so that it applies to quasi one and two dimensional electronic systems. It is shown that the attenuation in such systems differs significantly from the well-known results for three dimensional systems. The difference is particularly marked for one dimensional systems, for which the attenuation is shown to be strongly temperature dependent.

This paper describes the mechanical and thermophysical properties of actinide monocarbides AnCs (An=Np and Cm) as a function of temperature and crystallographic direction. The temperature-dependent second- and third-order elastic constant (SOECs and TOECs) have been computed first using Coulomb and Born–Mayer potential up to second nearest neighbor. SOECs have been applied to find out mechanical constant such as bulk modulus, shear modulus, tetragonal modulus, Poisson’s ratio and Zener anisotropy for the prediction of futuristic performance of the NpC and CmC. We also found the value of G/B [Formula: see text] 0.59 for the chosen materials, which indicates that NpC and CmC have brittle nature. The computed elastic constants are further applied directly to indirectly find out the ultrasonic velocity, Grüneisen parameters, pressure derivative, Debye temperature, micro-hardness, Breazeale’s nonlinearity parameter, thermal relaxation time and thermal conductivity. These evaluated parameters were finally used to compute ultrasonic attenuation of the NpC and CmC along [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] directions at room temperature. The behavior of the obtained results of this investigation has been compared with similar type of materials.
