Innovative Acoustic Techniques for Studying New Materials and New Developments in Solid State Physics.

Abstract

The goals of this project involve the use of innovative acoustic techniques to study new materials and new developments in solid state physics. Major accomplishments include (a) the submission of a Phys. Rev. Lett. paper on the use of resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS) to determine the isotropy of a quasicrystal, (b) the identification of a problem with the RUS analysis technique, (c) the construction of a major facility for the study of fracture, and (d) the preparation of a draft of a paper on a resonant photoacoustic technique.
