Phonon contribution to the ultrasonic attenuation in neutron-irradiated quartz

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)
It is shown by calculations that the thermal phonon contribution to the attenuation of ultrasonic waves in slightly neutron-irradiated crystalline quartz may be as much as 1 order of magnitude smaller than the measured attenuation for frequencies below 1 GHz.
