Laser-Generated Surface Acoustic Waves In Solids: Linear And Nonlinear Propagation, Anisotropy, And Dispersion
Friday, February 19, 1999 4:00 p.m. Dr. Al. A. Kolomenskii Department of Physics Texas A&M University Home http://www.tamu.edu A survey of recent studies of the excitation and propagation of surface acoustic waves in solids will be presented. With increasing amplitude, the waveform experiences nonlinear evolution during propagation. Experimental observation and theoretical description of this effect…
