Experimental Development of a Displacement Wave (Phonon) Spectrometer.
Abstract
During the period of three years of this grant, two major experiments have been carried out and completed. These are: (1) An experiment evaluating a vibronic sideband spectrometer for a study of nearly monochromatic phonons obtained through phonon-fluorescence from superconducting lead films. The results have been presented and published. (2) An experiment evaluating the use of superconducting tunneling junctions as generators and detectors of nearly monochromatic phonons. This experiment has shown the entirely unexpected result that high frequency phonons, at least as high as 1.4 THz, escape from superconducting Sn and that Pb junctions can be used as a partial spectrometer to obtain some information on the spectral distribution of the escaping phonons.
