Abstract

The technique of neutron inelastic scattering has demonstrated the presence of longitudinal acoustic phonons in two layer-silicate minerals. Values of the elastic constants determined from the dispersion curves have established the validity of the technique for this class of materials.

Resume

On a appliqué la méthode de diffusion inélastique des neutrons pour démontrer l'existence des phonons acoustiques et longitudinaux dans deux espèces de silicates en feuillets. D'après les courbes de dispersion on a obtenu des constantes élastiques établissant ainsi la méhode pour cette catégorie de matériaux.

Die Technik der inelastischen Neutronenbeugung zeigte die Anwesenheit longitudinaler akustischer Phononen in Zweischichtsilikaten. Die aus den Beugungskurven bestimmten Werte für die Elastizitätskon-stanten haben die Gültigkeit dieser Technik für derartige Materialien nachgewiesen.
