Elastic properties of Li2Zn2(MoO4)3 single crystals

The complete elastic modulus matrix of Li2Zn2(MoO4)3 single crystals has been measured for the first time. The sound velocity has been measured in different directions of the crystals by a pulse-phase method. The measurement results have been used to calculate elastic moduli. The sound velocity has been calculated in the three main crystallographic planes of the crystals.
