Using the experimental data of diamond we obtain the data of normal and resistive proc- esses of interaction in Callaway approach. As the result we obtain the concentration values of 13C in dia- mond single crystal, under which the isotropic scattering is weak, and the temperature range of second sound waves existence in diamond.

ВОЗМОЖНОСТЬ НАБЛЮДЕНИЯ ВОЛН ВТОРОГО ЗВУКА В ИЗОТОПИЧЕСКИ ОБОГАЩЁННОМ МОНОКРИСТАЛЛЕ АЛМАЗА В. Д. Ходусов, Д.М. Литвиненко Используя экспериментальные данные по теплопроводности алмаза, в модели Калавэя получена информация о нор- мальных и резистивных процессах фононного рассеяния. Как следствие получены концентрации примеси изотопа 13C в монокристалле алмаза, при которых изотопическое рассеяние фононов становится незначительным, а также промежу- ток температур, в котором существуют волны второго звука.
