The differential cross section of thermal neutron scattering and x-ray
scattering by acoustic excitations are calculated in the framework of
an anisotropic elastic medium model with an additional two-dimensiona
l acoustic-type mode which interacts with elastic deformation. This mo
del was proposed earlier for describing the anomalous behavior of soun
d velocities in Nd2CuO4. The influence of plane mode on the angular de
pendence of neutron scattering and on the shape of diffusive spot in x
-ray diffraction pattern is studied. (C) 1997 American Institute of Ph
