The authors measured the six lowest phonon dispersion branches in alpha quartz at room temperature for the (xi 00) and (xi xi 0) directions. The qualitative agreement with lattice dynamical calculations by Barron et al.(1976) is good. Among the quantitative differences the most striking appears in the acoustic modes in the (xi xi 0) direction. The symmetric ('longitudinal') branch has a lower initial slope (4.70 km s-1) and then one antisymmetric ('transverse') branch (5.4 km s-1). This unusual behaviour, which appears at relatively small phonon wavelengths observable by inelastic neutron scattering is in contrast to the long-wavelength sound velocities calculated from elastic constants which give 5.724 km s-1 for the symmetric and 5.114 km s-1 for the upper antisymmetric branch. They explain this observation by the different sound velocities in the first and zero sound regimes.
