The Impact of d– and f–compression on Anisotropy of Elastic Properties of Single Crystals with Hexagonal Close Packing of Lattice

Abstract

Characteristic surfaces of Young's moduli were created usingtheory of elasticity of anisotropic crystals and computer processing of experimental data and patterns of their formationwere established. Detailed analysis of anisotropy of elastic properties of single crystals of transition metals with hexagonal close packing of lattice were conducted. Theimpact of d– and f–compression on anisotropy of elastic properties was discovered for the first time. A correlation between the anisotropy of elasticity and other physical properties of transition metals was established.
