Time-domain Brillouin scattering (TDBS) is a developing technique for imaging/evaluation of
materials, currently used in material science and biology. Three-dimensional imaging and …

An analytical model for the potential between two rare gas atoms at distances between R= 0
to R→∞ is assumed to be conformal with the previously published potential for He 2 [J …

Germanium nitride, having cubic spinel structure, γ-Ge3N4, is a wide band-gap
semiconductor with a large exciton binding energy that exhibits high hardness, elastic …

Pressure dependences of the highest and lowest possible longitudinal sound velocities in
single crystals of the B1 and B2 phases of NaCl were extracted from examination of their …

Picosecond acoustics is an optical pump-probe technique allowing to access thermoelastic
properties and sound velocities of a large variety of materials under extreme conditions …

In this paper, we demonstrate for the first time the focusing of gigahertz coherent phonon
pulses propagating in water using picosecond ultrasonics and Brillouin light scattering. We …

Time-domain Brillouin scattering (TDBS) uses ultrashort laser pulses to (i) generate
coherent acoustic pulses of picoseconds duration in a solid sample and (ii) follow their …

Picosecond acoustics combined with a diamond anvil cell is used to study liquid indium and
to determine with high accuracy both the sound velocity and the melting curve over an …

Cubic solids such as NaCl, crystalline argon, or H 2 O-ice VII exhibit significant elastic
anisotropy strongly increasing upon compression. As earlier recognized for solid argon and …

Time resolved pump and probe acoustics and first-principles calculations were employed to
assess elastic properties of the TbMnO 3 perovskite manganite having orthorhombic …
