Elastic Behavior is the fundamental Strain and Stress distinction between solids and liquids Strain is a change of relative positions of the parts of the material •Difference: •A solid maintains its shape Stress is a /area applied to the material to cause the strain •The energy increases if the shape is changed – “shear” •A liquid has no preferred shape •It has no resistance to that do not change the volume

Pressure and Total Energy of Crystal • Consider first changes in the volume – applies to liquids and any crystal The general shape applies for any type of binding • General approach: E(V) where V is volume

Can use ether Ecrystal(Vcrystal) or Ecell(Vcell) since Ecrystal= N Ecell and Vcrystal = N Vcell

Elasticity Elastic Equations • Up to now in the course we considered only • The elastic equations describe the relation of perfect crystals with no external forces stress and strain

• Elasticity describes: • Linear relations for small stress/strain • Change in the volume and shape of the crystal when Stress = (elastic constants) x Strain external stresses (force / area) are applied • waves • Large elastic constants fi the material is stiff - a given strain requires a large applied stress • Some aspects of the elastic properties are determined by the of the crystal • We will give the general relations - but we will consider only cubic crystals • Quantitative values are determined by strength • The same relations apply for isotropic materials like a and type of binding of the crystal? • More discussion of general case in Kittel

Strain energy Symmetry Requirements Cubic Crystals • For linear elastic behavior, the energy is quadratic in the strain (or stress) • Simplification in cubic crystals due to symmetry Like Hooke’s law for a since x, y, and z are equivalent in cubic crystals

• Therefore, the energy is given by: • For cubic crystals all the possible linear elastic information is in 3 quantities: C11 = C11 = C22 = C33 E = (1/2) Σi ei σi = (1/2) Σij ei Cij ej , (i,j = 1,6) C12 = C13 = C23 C = C = C • Valid for all crystals 44 55 66

• Note 21 independent values in general • Note that by symmetry C14 = 0, etc (since Cij = Cji ) • Why is this true for cubic crystals?
