A simple interaction potential model has been established to calculate the higher order elastic constants of the intermetallic compounds NdS, NdSe, NdTe in the temperature range from 100-500 K. The ultrasonic velocity, Debye average velocity, thermal relaxation time and acoustic coupling constant are calculated using the higher order elastic constants and other related parameters. Ultrasonic attenuation due to phonon-phonon interaction and thermoelastic loss are studied as a function of temperature along <111> direction. Important characteristic features well connected to the acoustical parameters are discussed.

A simple interaction potential model has been established to calculate the higher order elastic constants of the intermetallic compounds NdS, NdSe, NdTe in the temperature range from 100-500 K. The ultrasonic velocity, Debye average velocity, thermal relaxation time and acoustic coupling constant are calculated using the higher order elastic constants and other related parameters. Ultrasonic attenuation due to phonon-phonon interaction and thermoelastic loss are studied as a function of temperature along <111> direction. Important characteristic features well connected to the acoustical parameters are discussed.
