Acoustic, Piezoelectric and Optoacoustic Properties of Organic Materials.

Abstract

Studies have been made of the acoustic, piezoelectric and optoacoustic properties of two acentric organic crystals (-2)-alpha-methyl benzylamino-4-nitropyridine (MBANP) and (-2)-alpha-methyl benzylamino-3 -methyl-4-nitropyridine (3Me-MBANP). These include a) a full study of the linear and non-linear optics of 3Me-MBANP, b) the piezoelectric coefficient d(23) of MBANP, c) the photoelastic coefficients of MBANP In all properties the materials show excellent performance and have promise for use as potential device materials.
