We report measurements of elastic moduli of hcp soliddown to 15 mK when the samples are rotated unidirectionally. Recent investigations have revealed that the elastic behavior of solidis dominated by gliding of dislocations and pinning of them byimpurities, which move in the solidlike Bloch waves (impuritons). Motivated by the recent controversy of torsional oscillator studies, we have performed direct measurements of shear and Young's moduli of annular solidusing pairs of quarter-circle-shape piezoelectric transducers (PZTs) while the whole apparatus is rotated with angular velocityup to 4 rad/s. We have found that shear modulusis suppressed by rotation below 80 mK, when shear strain applied by PZT exceeds a critical value, above whichdecreases because the shear strain unbinds dislocations fromimpurities. The rotation-induced decrement ofatrad/s is about 14.7(12.3)% of the total change of temperature dependentfor solid samples of pressure 3.6(5.4) MPa. The decrements indicate that the probability of pinning ofon dislocation segmentdecreases by several orders of magnitude. We propose that the motion ofimpuritons under rotation becomes strongly anisotropic by the Coriolis force, resulting a decrease infor dislocation lines aligning parallel to the rotation axis.
