Abstract

Using improved acoustic spectroscopy, we determined the complete above coefficients (16 independent ones) by measuring the macroscopic resonance frequencies of a single lithium-niobate monocrystal. The improvement consisted of using laser-Doppler interferometry for unambiguous vibration-mode identification. Elastic coefficients C-ijkl agree well with previous reports that used conventional methods. Piezoelectric coefficients e(ijk) agree with the range of four previous reports. Anelastic coefficients Q(ijkl)(-1) reported for the first time, suggest that the crystal's internal friction arises mainly from dislocations, not from intrinsic multiphonon processes.
