Acoustic Studies of Low-Temperature Phase Transitions in LiKSO4 Crystals

Abstract

Acoustic studies of low-temperature phase transitions in LiKSO4 crystals were performed in the range 165 to 290 K. Anomalies in velocity and attenuation were found around 204 and 185 K under cooling and around 195 and 260 K under warming. A dip in the velocity of the yx shear wave was observed at the III–IV phase transition. The results are treated in the framework of the Landau theory and fluctuation models.
