| Ultrasonic attenuation and non-linearity parameters have been evaluated for dielectric crystals RbCl, RbBr and RbI in a wide temperature range. Basic physical parameters, nearest neighbour distance and hardness parameters of the substance and Coulomb and Born-Mayer potentials have been used to obtain ultrasonic attenuation due to phonon-viscosity mechanism along (100) direction of propagation for longitudinal and shear waves. Results are as expected and it has been concluded that ultrasonic attenuation is a fundamental property of the substance. |
