A rapid method of computing the mean Debye characteristic temperatures of anisotropic cubic crystals is described. The method employs the known relationships of the elastic moduli of single and polycrystals of the same material and gives Debye temperatures with an uncertainty of less than 1% when these values are compared with those calculated from more elaborate procedures.
