In phonon-propagation studies using heat pulses it has been found that predominantly transverse phonons are observed for 100 propagation in LiF whereas mainly longitudinal phonons are observed for this direction in KCl. This result and similar effects previously reported on other crystals are explained in terms of a phonon-focusing effect that arises from elastic anisotropy.
Taylor et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
