The frequency dependence of the attenuation coefficient for longitudinal ultrasonic waves in InSb is determined over the range 50 to 210 MHz for temperatures between 200 and 600 °K. The experimental results are interpreted using the Woodruff‐Ehrenreich theory. It is shown that above 200 °K the attenuation coefficient decreases with increasing temperature according to the function A /(1 + β T ) and therefore the lattice thermal conductivity decreases as the function B / T (1 + β T ), in accordance with theories of lattice thermal conductivity.
