Abstract

A theoretical treatment is given of the relaxation time for the absorption of longitudinally polarized vibrations in an isotropie medium. Employing standard phonon interaction theory, the relaxation time is obtained in terms of certain integrals, depending parametrically on the ratio of transverse to longitudinal sound velocity. These integrals are evaluated numerically over the range which this ratio takes in practice. The results are applied to a consideration of solid argon, sodium chloride and germanium.
