Abstract: | The adiabatic elastic constants ( C(ij)) of cristobalite have been evaluated successfully over the temperature range of 300-1800 K using the molecular-dynamics method with a fluctuation formula. Cristobalite shows a negative Poisson ratio over this temperature range. However, the mechanisms differ between the alpha and beta phases. In the cubic beta phase, C44 exhibits a value extremely close to C11 rather than C12, in contrast to the Cauchy relation. This predicts a remarkable property that the longitudinal and transverse velocities coincide for the acoustic waves propagating along the [100] direction. |
