The equations of motion for the displacement of elastic waves in the [111] direction, from Eqs.

The above matrix equation gives the following three equations 2u1 + u2 + u3 ¼ 0 u 1 2 u2 + u3 ¼ 0
(C.4)
u1 + u2 2u3 ¼ 0 Solving Eq. (C.4), one immediately gets u1 ¼ u2 ¼ u3
(C.5)
According to Eq. (C.5) the eigenfunction corresponding to L2 is in the [111] direction. Hence the displacement is in the direction of propagation (K) of the wave, which means that it corresponds to a longitudinal wave.

The three equations given by Eq. (C.7) yield u1 + u 2 + u 3 ¼ 0 (C.8) Let one of the eigenfunctions corresponding to L1 be given by 110 , which satisfies Eq. (C.8). The other eigenfunction must be perpendicular to both [111] and 110 and can be shown to be 112 .
