✦ Synopsis


The normal-state shear-wave attenuation has been calculated for propagation along the three principal symmetry directions in magnesium, zinc, and cadmium. The real metal theory of Pippard employing Fermi surfaces of these metals based on band structure calculations was used to calculate the attenuation. The attenuation was calculated for five shear modes for qi values between O. 1 and 60. The shear deformation parameter was assumed to equal zero in these calculations. The calculations are compared with experimental data for the fast shear modes for propagation along the [1120] and [lOfO] directions.
