Anisotropy of elastic properties of disordered cubic titanium monoxide TiOy.

[Display omitted] For the first time, the elastic constants c 11 , c 12 , and c 44 of disordered cubic titanium monoxide TiO y were determined depending on the oxygen content y in the homogeneity region from TiO 0.80 to TiO 1.25. It has been established that the values of the elastic moduli depend on the oxygen content y and the crystallographic direction [ hkl ]. Large changes in the elastic characteristics of TiO y depending on the [ hkl ] direction indicate a strong anisotropy of the elasticity of disordered cubic titanium monoxide. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
