Abstract:
It is shown that the variation of the bulk and shear moduli in δ-Pu in a temperature range of 300–500 K is due to the phonon redistribution between different vibrational modes caused by the dispersion of the Grüneisen coefficients (phonon viscosity). The constants of interaction of the high-frequency acoustic modes with a long-wavelength deformation induced by an ultrasonic wave are estimated.
