We have used Brillouin scattering to measure the temperature dependence of the sound velocities of the longitudinal and transverse vibrational modes in various directions in small single crystals of monoclinic ZrO 2 . Using these velocities and the Christoffel equation, we have calculated the 13 elastic stiffness moduli between room temperature and the monoclinic—tetragonal transformation temperature.
