Elastic,piezoelectric and dielectric properties of ZnO and CdS single crystals in a wide range of temperatures

A complete set of elastic, piezoelectric and dielectric constants of ZnO and CdS at room temperature was determined by the method of resonance-antiresonance. Elastic constants s^E₁₁, s^E₁₂, s^E₅₅, c^D₃₃, c^D₅₅, coefficients of electromechanical couplingk₃₁, k₁₅, k_t and dielectric constants ε^T₁₁, ε^T₃₃ of ZnO single crystals were determined in the temperature range 4.2–800 K. Elastic constants s^E₁₁, s^E₁₂, s^D₃₃, s^E₅₅, s^D₃₃, s^D₅₅, coefficients of electromechanical coupling k₃₁, k₃₃, k₁₅, k_t and dielectric constants ε^T₁₁, ε^T₃₃ of CdS single crystals were determined in the temperature range 4.2–300 K.
