Ys. Yu et al., A STUDY OF ELASTIC PROPERTIES OF CR-DOPED KTIOPO4 SINGLE-CRYSTALS BY BRILLOUIN-SCATTERING, Journal of the Korean Physical Society, 32, 1998, pp. 518-520
Pure and Cr-doped single crystals KTP which are grown by the TSSG meth
od are large and good quality ones. Brillouin scattering experiment is
carried out to study the elastic properties of the grown crystal. We
obtain all of nine elastic constants of the KTP crystal from one cubic
sample, through which piezoelectric effect is considered. As a result
the obtained elastic constants are some what different from the other
s' results. In this work we use the back scattering method for determi
ning elastic constants of our samples.
