โฆ Synopsis
The analysis some of the acoustic phonons propagating in pure and Ho 3+ -doped KGd(WO 4 ) 2 single crystals in the GHz frequency range by Brillouin scattering method has been presented. For investigated crystals the velocities of the longitudinal and transverse acoustic phonons [100], [010], [001], [101], [101] and [110] have been determined. Moreover, the value of elastic constants C 22 , C 44 and C 66 of pure and Ho 3+ -doped KGd(WO 4 ) 2 single crystals have been estimated. It was revealed that the presence of the Ho 3+ -ions in KGd(WO 4 ) 2 crystals, for the used doping concentration 1 at% and 8 at%, does not influence their elastic properties.

## Abstract The elastic properties of the zinc tris (thiourea) sulphate crystal were studied by Brillouin spectroscopy in the range 80 โ 300 K. The measurements were made on single crystals obtained by the isothermal method. The temperature dependences of the Brillouin shift were determined for the
Study of the elastic properties of SrLaAlO 4 (SLA) and SrLaGaO 4 (SLG) crystals has been reported. The absorption of the yellow and green SLA and SLG crystals in the visible range was also investigated. The results obtained are discussed in terms of the nature of the oxygen point defects, which migh
