Abstract
IN a recent communication in Nature, Krishnan, Chandrasekharan and Rajagopal1 suggest that discrepancies between the determinations of the elastic constants of diamond may find an explanation in the enlarged scheme of elastic constants suggested by Laval, LeCorre, Viswanathan and Raman. In referring to the results of the experiments by Prince and Wooster2, they suggest that “probably the theory of diffuse scattering of X-rays needs some modification in the light of the new theory of elasticity”.
