An attempt was made to study the ultrasonic attenuation in Cu-Zn, Ag-Cd, Ag-Mg and Ag-Zn alloys, due to phonon-phonon interaction at 300 K. The Morse potential was used to evaluate the second and third order elastic constants. How far the neighbouring atoms are effective and contributing to ultrasonic attenuation was studied. It is concluded that most of the ultrasonic attenuation is covered by the atoms from 1st to 8th shell. The contribution to ultrasonic attenuation due to 9th shell to 12th shell is very small. It is also concluded that alloys behave more or less in the same manner as metals.
Ultrasonic attenuation was evaluated in metallic alloys, Ni_{x}Cu_{1-x} (x = 1.00, 0.70, 0.60, 0.45 and 0) due to phonon-phonon (p-p) interaction and thermoelastic loss in a wide temperature region along ⟨110⟩ crystallographic direction for longitudinal and shear waves. Ultrasonic Grüneisen parameters, nonlinearity constants and ultrasonic attenuation due to p-p interaction and thermoelastic loss were determined from 50 K to 500 K using the Born-Mayer and electrostatic potentials. The results were compared with available experimental results.
Ultrasonic attenuation and non-linearity parameters have been evaluated for dielectric crystals RbCl, RbBr and RbI in a wide temperature range. Basic physical parameters, nearest neighbour distance and hardness parameters of the substance and Coulomb and Born-Mayer potentials have been used to obtain ultrasonic attenuation due to phonon-viscosity mechanism along (100) direction of propagation for longitudinal and shear waves. Results are as expected and it has been concluded that ultrasonic attenuation is a fundamental property of the substance.
