Orientational dependence of ultrasonic velocity near the phase transition in Sn2P2S6 single crystals

Abstract
The results of ultrasonic velocity and attenuation measurements in Sn2P2S6 semiconductor crystals near the ferroelectric phase transition are presented for X, Y, Z crystalografic directions. It is shown that in ferroelectric phase for Y and Z directions the temperature dependencies can be well described by Landau theory and dispersion does not occur in the frequency range 10 MHz — 17 GHz. The strong frequency dispersion of ultrasonic velocity have been observed only in the direction of ferroelectric X axis.
