Abstract
Temperature dependences of relative changes in the sound velocities along the principal axes of the CsDy0.9Gd(Eu)0.1(MoO4)2 crystal are investigated in the region of the structural second-order phase transition at Tc ∼ 30 K. The absence of a noticeable softening of the transverse moduli indicates the nonferrodistortion type of the transition. Another structural first-order transition is detected in the temperature range between 27 and 24 K.
