Longitudinal acoustic

A device dedicated to low-frequency (20-200 Hz) acoustic longitudinal waves is described in Ref. 17. It was made of an audio amplifier supplying a high power bass loudspeaker. A waveguide ensured the propagation of the sound towards a gel sample. [Pg.215]

Figure 2.17 The phonon dispersion relations for (a) GaN and (b) Si. TA, LA, LO, and TO refer to transverse acoustic, longitudinal acoustic, longitudinal optical and transverse optical phonons, respectively. Each of these represents a particular vibrational mode. Longitudinal modes run along bonds as in Figure 2.16, while for transverse modes the vibration velocity is perpendicular to the bonds. There are two transverse modes because there are two axes perpendicular to a bond direction. Figures after Levinshtein, Rumyantsev, Sergey, and Shur, Reference [5], p. 27 and 184, respectively.

As any conventional probe, acoustic beam pattern of ultrasound array probes can be characterized either in water tank with reflector tip, hydrophone receiver, or using steel blocks with side-drilled holes or spherical holes, etc. Nevertheless, in case of longitudinal waves probes, we prefer acoustic beam evaluation in water tank because of the great versatility of equipment. Also, the use of an hydrophone receiver, when it is possible, yields a great sensitivity and a large signal to noise ratio. [Pg.823]

Fig. 2 shows the CFRP-sandwich specimen and the transducer mounted on the scanner. Fig. 23 presents a C-scan of the specimen as first interesting result. Only the defects visible from the outside are indicated. The distance between transducer and specimen was smaller than the focal length, so that the angle of incidence at the edge of the sound beam converts the longitudinal waves to Rayleigh-waves in the specimen. These waves provide a very sharp image of the surface. This method opens the possibility for a non-contact acoustic microscope. [Pg.842]

For exciting the surface waves the traditional method of transforming of the longitudinal wave by the plastic wedge is used. The scheme of surface waves excitation is shown in fig. 1. In particular, it is ascertained that the intensity of the excitation of the surface wave is determined by the position of the extreme point of the exit of the acoustic beam relatively to the front meniscus of the contact liquid. The investigations have shown, that under the... [Pg.876]

This frequency is a measure of the vibration rate of the electrons relative to the ions which are considered stationary. Eor tme plasma behavior, plasma frequency, COp, must exceed the particle-coUision rate, This plays a central role in the interactions of electromagnetic waves with plasmas. The frequencies of electron plasma waves depend on the plasma frequency and the thermal electron velocity. They propagate in plasmas because the presence of the plasma oscillation at any one point is communicated to nearby regions by the thermal motion. The frequencies of ion plasma waves, also called ion acoustic or plasma sound waves, depend on the electron and ion temperatures as well as on the ion mass. Both electron and ion waves, ie, electrostatic waves, are longitudinal in nature that is, they consist of compressions and rarefactions (areas of lower density, eg, the area between two compression waves) along the direction of motion. [Pg.107]

When air in a room is disturbed by a person speaking the molecules of the air have movements that are along the path of the wave. If you were to draw a line from the speaker s mouth to your ear, the movement of the molecules would be along this line. This type of wave, called an acoustical wave, is said to be longitudinal. The pleasant sounds of music are produced by acoustical waves. On the other hand, destruction by a bomb blast also is caused by acoustical waves. Instead of oscillating up and down, molecules in the acoustical (or compression) wave bunch together as the wave passes. It is not a transverse wave. [Pg.1221]

In three dimensions, transverse and longitudinal optic and acoustic modes result. The dispersion curve for CuCl along [100] of the cubic unit cell [3] is shown in Figure 8.11(a) as an example. The number of discrete modes with frequencies in a defined interval can be displayed as a function of the frequency. This gives what is termed the density of vibrational modes or the vibrational density of states (DoS). The vibrational DoS of CuCl is given in Figure 8.11(b). [Pg.240]

In a homogeneous isotropic elastic medium it is possible to split acoustic waves in independent longitudinal and transverse waves, each travelling at a speed cL and cT, respectively. As 2 is greater than or equal to zero, cT is lower than or equal to cl/ J2. [Pg.212]

Bulk silicon is a semiconductor with an indirect band structure, as schematically shown in Fig. 7.12 c. The top of the VB is located at the center of the Brillouin zone, while the CB has six minima at the equivalent (100) directions. The only allowed optical transition is a vertical transition of a photon with a subsequent electron-phonon scattering process which is needed to conserve the crystal momentum, as indicated by arrows in Fig. 7.12 c. The relevant phonon modes include transverse optical phonons (TO 56 meV), longitudinal optical phonons (LO 53.5 meV) and transverse acoustic phonons (TA 18.7 meV). At very low temperature a splitting (2.5 meV) of the main free exciton line in TO and LO replicas can be observed [Kol5]. [Pg.138]
