The paper examines theoretically changes in the speed of an acoustic wave in crystals caused by metallic dopants. It is well known that an acoustic wave has a wavelength larger than the typical dimension of the elementary crystallographic cell, so it is sensitive only to large-scale features. The model bases on the assumption that a crystal with uniform distributed dopants can be transformed into a multiplayer virtual structure form which some conclusions can be drawn. The approach presented is valid for longitudinal acoustic waves, where the atomic displacement can be considered as a continuum field. It provides positive or negative changes in the acoustic wave speeds for different dopants in a hypothetical lithium niobate crystal.
