Temperature-dependent elastic constants of thorium dioxide probed using time-domain Brillouin scattering

Amey Khanolkar, Yuzhou Wang, Cody A. Dennett +4

We report the adiabatic elastic constants of single-crystal thorium dioxide over a temperature range of 77 - 350 K. Time-domain Brillouin scattering (TDBS), an all-optical, non-con…
