Abstract
Birch's law arises in the physics of solids as a linear approximation, in a certain range of density, of a power law. For a change of chemical composition within the same crystal structure, the velocity-density relation is constant with a slope of nearly -0.5 in the first-order approximation.Year: 1972 PMID: 17815623 DOI: 10.1126/science.177.4045.261
