Effect of Depolarization Field on Electro-Elastic Properties of Photoconductive CdS Crystals (Experimental)

Abstract
The sound velocity and mechanical loss of photoconductive CdS crystals are measured by the composite-bar method. The experimental results are analyzed by the stress-strain relation, which has been obtained previously by using the depolarization factor. The depolarization factors obtained by the elastic data are in mood agreement with the depolarization factor obtained from Bozorth-Chapin's data.
