چکیده

The reflection coefficient of longitudinal 25-GHz phonons at a quartz-liquid 4He interface was measured for various phonon intensities. For thoroughly cleaned quartz surfaces a reflection coefficient of I independent of the incident intensity was found. When the sample was covered with a thin hydrocarbon film, however, the reflection coefficient dropped by typically 5-10% when the phonon intensity was low. At high intensities this extra phonon loss disappeared, suggesting the saturation of the inelastic processes at the quartzhelium interface.

Phonon reflection at a sapphire-vacuum interface?

Theoretical and experimental studies have been conducted of the transmission of phonons in sapphire and their reflection at a crystal-vacuum interface. The effects of crystal anisotropy on the reflection process, not previously noted in the literature, are discussed in detail. The heat-pulse technique has been used to obtain high-resolution timeof-flight spectra as a function of the angle of in...

REFLECTION OF PHONONS IN 4He BY NaF

The angular distribution after reflection at a cleaved NaF-liquid He interface of a collimated phonon beam incident from the helium at a grazing angle of incidence of ̂ 10° has been measured. The results suggest the existence of interface states which interact with only a part of the incident phonon spectrum. In the light of experiments which have been aarried out on the problem of phonon transm...

Wave Reflection and Refraction at the Interface of Triclinic and Liquid Medium

A Mathematical model has been considered to study the reflection and refraction phenomenon of plane wave at the interface of an isotropic liquid medium and a triclinic (anisotropic) half-space. The incident plane qP wave generates three types of reflected waves namely quasi-P (qP), quasi-SV (qSV) and quasi-SH (qSH) waves in the tric...
