The authors cite N.G. Burma et al., Fiz. Nizk. Temp., Vol. 18, 247 (1992), and summarize the procedure as follows. "...we have measured sound velocities both in the principal and in... arbitrary crystallography directions. The new variant of phase method was used, (and) as a result accuracy of data obtained is not worse than 0.5%. Also we have calculated the Debye temperature of the investigated crystals by averaging of the inverse cubes of the all normal mode velocities." No additional measurement details were noted.
