Abstract Employing the wedge method which has been developed by the authors, the elastic constants of diamond have been determined. The individual values are c11=9.5, c12=3.9, c44=4.3 x 1012 dynes/cm.2. Force constants derived from the observed spectroscopic data in respect of diamond account very satisfactorily for the results.
