Abstract:
Based on the propagation theory of acoustic waves in anisotropic media, the angular dispersion curves of SAW velocities propagated in some unusual oriented, such as (016)- and (331)-oriented, Body-Centered Cubic (BCC) single crystals are simulated using an optimized numerical method. Meanwhile, the angular dispersion curves of SAW velocities propagated in these unusual oriented BCC single crystals are measured by Impulsive Stimulated Scattering (ISS) laser ultrasonic method, which show that the measurement results are in good agreement with those of the simulations. By the optimized numerical method, the relationships between the temperature and the dispersion curves of SAW velocity propagated in these single crystals are also simulated.

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...
