The quasi-isotropic elastic constants are measured in a 85% dense partially melted YBa 2 Cu 3 C 7−x superconductor in the temperature range 80–300 K. The room temperature values of the longitudinal and shear moduli of the void-free material are found to be 168 and 59 GPa respectively, and no decrease in these constants is observed during the transition from normal to superconducting states. The Debye temperature is found to be 426 K which is comparable to that of the tetragonal phase polycrystalline BaTiO 3 (429 K).

The validity of Hill's formulas for the shear modulus of a polycrystalline cubic solid is examined by calculating the Debye characteristic temperature at 0 °K for a number of cubic metals using the measured elastic constants. The results are compared with calorimetric values and the numbers deduced from direct numerical integration of elastic data. Various methods give nearly similar results if the anisotropy of the metallic element is not excessively large.

The lattice dynamics of cuprous halides have been thoroughly investigated by means of an 8-parameter bond-bending force model (BBFM), recently developed and applied successfully to study phonons in various II–VI and III–V compound semiconductors having zinc-blende (ZB) structure. The application of BBFM is made to calculate the phonon dispersion relations, phonon density of states, and temperature variation of the Debye characteristic temperature [Formula: see text] of CuCl, CuBr, and CuI. The room-temperature neutron scattering measurements for phonon dispersion curves along three principal symmetry directions and calorimetric experimental data for the Debye characteristic temperature have been used to check the validity of BBFM for the three crystals. The overall good agreement between theoretical and experimental results supports its use as an appropriate model for the dynamical description of ZB crystals.

Diffraction peak profiles broaden due to the smallness of crystallites and the presence of lattice defects. Strain broadening of powders of polycrystalline materials is often anisotropic in terms of the hkl indices. This kind of strain anisotropy has been shown to be well interpreted assuming dislocations as one of the major sources of lattice distortions. The knowledge of the dislocation contrast factors are inevitable for this interoperation. In a previous work the theoretical contrast factors were evaluated for cubic crystals for elastic constants in the Zener constant range 0.5≤Az≤8. A large number of ionic crystals and many refractory metals have elastic anisotropy, Az, well below 0.5. In the present work the contrast factors for this lower anisotropy-constant range are investigated. The calculations and the corresponding peak profile analysis are tested on ball milled PbS and Nb and nanocrystalline CeO2.
