Abstract: | Expressions for the higher order elastic constants are derived using the sublattice displacements to the second degree in
strains. These expressions are used to obtain the higher order elastic constants and their pressure derivatives in gadolinium.
The higher order elastic constants are used to find out the generalized Gruneisen parameters of the elastic waves propagating
in different directions in gadolinium. The Brugger gammas are evaluated and the low temperature limit of the Gruneisen gamma
is obtained. The results are compared with the available reported values. |
