Photoacoustic investigation of phase transitions in solids?
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of the photoacoustic effect in the investigation of firstand second-order phase transitions has been examined. Changes in the amplitude of the photoacoustic signal across the phase transition are compared with changes in thermal properties such as specific heat and thermal diffusivity. The systemsstudied include NaN02, TlN03, CsN03, NH4N03, BaTiO,, COO, Cu,HgI,, V 0 2 andV305. The current photoacoustic studies are discussed in the light of the theoretical models available.

Photoacoustic detection of phase transitions at low temperatures in CsPbCl3 crystals
Phase transitions in CsPbCl3 crystals have been explored by photoacoustic (PA) method in a wide temperature range of 150–300 K. The PA signals, induced by ns-pulsed laser excitation of electronic states and detected with a piezoelectric transducer, are thermoelastic ultrasonic waves lasting for hundreds of microseconds. The wavelet analysis of the PA wave has clarified that the thermoelastic wa...
متن کاملViscoelasticity imaging of biological tissues with phase-resolved photoacoustic measurement.
A method for noninvasive viscoelasticity imaging of biological tissues using phase-resolved photoacoustic measurement is presented. We deduced the process of photoacoustic effect on the basis of thermal viscoelasticity theory, and established the relationship between the photoacoustic phase delay and the viscosity-elasticity ratio for soft solids. Agar phantoms with different densities and diff...

متن کاملWave Propagation in a Layer of Binary Mixture of Elastic Solids
This paper concentrates on the propagation of waves in a layer of binary mixture of elastic solids subjected to stress free boundaries. Secular equations for the layer corresponding to symmetric and antisymmetric wave modes are derived in completely separate terms. The amplitudes of displacement components and specific loss for both symmetric and antisymmetric modes are obtained. The effect of ...
