Microwave Reflections from Vibrating Inhomogeneous Conducting Surfaces.
Abstract
Homogeneously oxidized iron surfaces show modulated microwave reflections under strain. The effects are too small to account for the modulation found from actual vibrating systems, but are large compared to the response expected from clean metal surfaces. Tunneling junctions of Fe-Oxide-Fe have been investigated as a possible origin of the observed enhancement of strain sensitivity. Such tunneling junctions have been found to exist, at room temperature, but the effect found in model MOM junctions is not large enough to account for the observations. (Author)
