An expression is obtained for the spherically averaged acoustic phonon polarization and velocity factor found in theories of 1-phonon thermal diffuse scattering that is valid for all real cubic crystals and easy to evaluate numerically. A comparison with the usual approximate form shows appreciable discrepancies for very anisotropic materials.
