Abstract
We consider the attenuation of longitudinal ultrasonic waves in a clean two -dimensional d-wave superconductor. We show that the attenuation coefficien t is linear in temperature at low temperatures for all in-plane directions of the propagation of the ultrasound, and that the coefficient of the linea r term can be used to determine the parameters crucial for the low-temperat ure transport in these compounds.
