Observation of the onset of strong scattering on high frequency acoustic phonons in densified silica glass.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The linewidth of longitudinal acoustic waves in densified silica glass is obtained by inelastic x-ray scattering. It increases with a high power alpha of the frequency up to a crossover where the waves experience strong scattering. We find that alpha is at least 4, and probably larger. Resonance and hybridization of acoustic waves with the boson-peak modes seems to be a more likely explanation for these findings than Rayleigh scattering from disorder.

The crossover from propagating to strongly scattered acoustic modes of glasses observed in densified silica
Spectroscopic results on low frequency excitations of densified silica are presented and related to characteristic thermal properties of glasses. The end of the longitudinal acoustic branch is marked by a rapid increase of the Brillouin linewidth with the scattering vector. This rapid growth saturates at a crossover frequency Ω co which nearly coincides with the center of the boson peak. The la...

In this paper, the phononic structure and Enthalpy of CaB2 compound in simple hexagonal and orthorhombic phase have been investigated. The calculations were performed using the pseudo-potential method in the framework of the density functional theory and using the Quantum-Espresso code. Using the group theory and the characteristic table of the composition point group, the phonon modes were ide...
متن کاملObservation of surface acoustic wave Brillouin scattering in optical microfibers
We report the observation of surface-acoustic-wave Brillouin scattering (SAWBS) in a subwavelength-diameter fiber and show that this effect relies on the generation by the electrostrictive force of phonons confined at the surface of the microwire. OCIS codes: 290.5900, 060.4370, 160.6030 Brillouin scattering between sound and light waves has been extensively investigated in optical fibers. It i...

Introduction: Reducing noise pollution has become an essential issue due to the increase in public concern and also social demands for a better lifestyle. Using sound absorption materials is a preferred method to reduce the noise pollution. Undesirable properties of pure polyurethane such as poor absorption of mechanical energy in narrow frequency ranges can be improved by providing polymeric n...
متن کاملStructure and Properties of Silica Glass Densified in Cold Compression and Hot Compression
Silica glass has been shown in numerous studies to possess significant capacity for permanent densification under pressure at different temperatures to form high density amorphous (HDA) silica. However, it is unknown to what extent the processes leading to irreversible densification of silica glass in cold-compression at room temperature and in hot-compression (e.g., near glass transition tempe...
