Note on the Probable Values of the Elastic Constants of the Zinc Crystal

In consideration of the compressibility data in the preceding paper by Bridgman a somewhat different interpretation is given to the measurements of Hanson. A satisfactory set of constants for the zinc crystal may be based on Bridgman's measurements and on those obtained by Hanson on one of his lots of zinc. These are: S₁₁=7.70, S₁₂=0.83, S₁₃=-6.93, S₃₃=27.66, S₄₄=24.40, all ×10^-13 cm²/dyne.
