The Brillouin light scattering technique was used to determine experimentally the three independent elastic constants of cubic aluminum oxynitride at the ambient condition. They are , and . Its bulk modulus is 221.2 GPa . The magnitude of Zener anisotropic ratio is 2.1 similar to other spinels. The anisotropic nature of the material is shown by a large variation in the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio with crystallographic directions. The material was found to be auxetic in certain orientations.
