Acoustic flux imaging in anisotropic media
Tóm tắt
A new method for characterizing acoustic flux propagation in anisotropic media is introduced and developed. The technique, which we call ultrasonic flux imaging (UFI), utilizes a pair of water-immersion focused acoustic transducers as a point source and point detector. Raster scanning one transducer produces a transmission pattern which exhibits the anisotropies in acoustic flux known as “phonon focusing” modulated by interference between sheets of the acoustic wave surface. This “internal diffraction” is studied theoretically taking into account the anisotropy of the medium, the boundary conditions between the solid and the water, and the pressure fields produced by the transducers. In addition to bulk effects, the images reveal interesting critical-cone structures associated with the water/solid interface. The theoretical predictions agree well with experimental observations in silicon and a number of other materials, including single-crystal metals, insulators, and semiconductors. All measurements are made at room temperature, in contrast to the cryogenic requirements of previous phononimaging techniques. As a new method, UFI holds promise for examining anisotropies in the vibrational properties, and, possibly, electron-phonon coupling in metals and superconductors. The principles and techniques may also have application to non-destructive characterization of textured polycrystalline and composite materials.

The arrival of a transverse wave at epicenter is sufficiently non-intuitive to warrant some comment: In an isotropic material, transverse waves at epicenter due to normal forces are necessarily ones with vertically directed phase velocity and are therefore diminished in amplitude with respect to longitudinal waves by a factor of the thickness-to-wavelength ratio. They are therefore usually negligible. In an anisotropic material, however, focusing effects can direct towards epicenter the transverse wave energy corresponding to obliquely directed phase velocities
The existence of severalk's with the sameV direction results in a folded group velocity or “wave surface”. The interfering waves originate from different sheets on this surface. There are actually three wave vectors with group velocities in theR 1 direction in Fig. 5.k 3 has not been considered here because, having a very different group speed, it may be separable from the arrivals associated with the two more closely spaced modes

The details of a proof may be constructed from the following observations: an initially quiescent half-space with precisely three prescribed surface displacement (or traction) components has a unique subsequent bounded evolution. Taking a generalized (ω = ω r +iε) temporal Fourier transform and a real spatial (k ‖) Fourier transform does not alter this existence and uniqueness. Quiescent initial conditions together with conditions of bounded signal velocity assures that the transformed solution must decay exponentially at least as fast as exp {−ε|z|/v max}. Therefore there must be precisely three rootsq ⊥ (ω r +iε with positive imaginary part at least as large as ɛ/v max. These arguments also establish that the polarizations U associated with the three roots must be linearly independent
