Abstract

Progress in microelectronic technology has allowed us to design and develop a simple but, professional quality instrument for ultrasonic pulse-echo probing of the elastic properties of materials. The heart of this interfer- ometer lies in the AD8302 microchip, a gain and phase detector from Analog Devices, Inc. The interferometer was tested by measuring the temperature dependences of the ultrasound speed and attenuation in a ferro- electric KTa_0.92 Nb_0.08O₃ (KTN) crystal at a frequency of about 40 MHz. These tests demonstrated that our instrument is capable of detecting the relative changes in the sound speed v on the level of Δv/v ~ 10^–7. In addition, the ultrasound attenuation revealed new features in the development of the low-temperature structure of the ferroelectric KTN crystal.

Application of Laser-Ultrasonics to the Non-Contact, Pulse Echo Measurement of the Thickness of Micron Thin Metallic Coatings

Journal Article Nadeau, A ; Nadeau, F ; Choquet, M ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

The general scope of this work was to use recently available ultra-short pulsed lasers to perform laser-ultrasonic pulse-echo thicknesses measurements on thin electroplated metallic coatings. Experiments were first performed using a femtosecond laser coupled to a confocal Fabry-Perot interferometer (CFPI). The results showed that the CFPI is often inappropriate for the detection of ultrasound pulses having spectral widths much larger than the interferometer's free spectral range. A second experimental session was conducted using a picosecond laser and an InPFe photorefractive interferometer. Multiple echoes of broad band compression waves (up to 500 MHz) were successfully detected on electrodeposited metallic coatings ofmore »« less

Quasi-elastic light scattering in KTa/sub 1-x/Nb/sub x/O/sub 3/

Thesis/Dissertation Lee, E

The ferroelectric phase transition in the mixed crystal system KTa/sub 1-x/Nb/sub x/O/sub 3/ (KTN) was studied using inelastic light scattering techniques. A quasi-elastic scattering peak centered at zero frequency shift was discovered in the light scattering spectrum of KTN samples containing approx. =3% and 10% Nb. Elastically scattered light was attenuated several orders of magnitude by a molecular iodine filter, which has a resonant absorption line at the wavelength of the laser excitation (5145 A in an argon-ion laser), thereby allowing the study of low frequency spectral features. High resolution Brillouin scattering measurements revealed a finite, minimum width of approx.more »« less
Piston cylinder cell for high pressure ultrasonic pulse echo measurements

Journal Article Kepa, M. W., E-mail: mkepa@staffmail.ed.ac.uk ; Huxley, A. D. ; Ridley, C. J. ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

Ultrasonic techniques such as pulse echo, vibrating reed, or resonant ultrasound spectroscopy are powerful probes not only for studying elasticity but also for investigating electronic and magnetic properties. Here, we report on the design of a high pressure ultrasonic pulse echo apparatus, based on a piston cylinder cell, with a simplified electronic setup that operates with a single coaxial cable and requires sample lengths of mm only. The design allows simultaneous measurements of ultrasonic velocities and attenuation coefficients up to a pressure of 1.5 GPa. We illustrate the performance of the cell by probing the phase diagram of a singlemore »« less

Microstructure of KTa[sub x]Nb[sub 1[minus]x]O[sub 3] thin films on MgO (100) single crystals

Journal Article Nazeri, A ; Kahn, M ; Bender, B ; ... - Journal of the American Ceramic Society; (United States)

Thin KTa[sub x]Nb[sub 1[minus]x]O[sub 3] (KTN) films were prepared by deposition of sol-gel precursor solutions on MgO (100) single crystals. Crystal structure and microstructure of the films as a function of processing parameters, such as rate, duration, and temperature of post deposition heat treatment, were studied. Several techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were employed to analyzed the films. It was observed that slow heating of KTN films promotes pyrochlore crystallites while fast-firing of the films results in predominant formation of the perovskite phase. In slow-heated samples, TEM showed randomly orientedmore »« less

Ultrasonic Measurements of Temperature Profile and Heat Fluxes in Coal-Fired Power Plants (Final Report)

Technical Report Skliar, Mikhail

Many industrial processes are inaccessible or inhospitable to characterization by traditional temperature measurement methods, such as thermocouples, especially over prolonged exposure to harsh environments. Ultrasound is an established characterization technology with diverse applications ranging from medical imaging to therapies to flaw detection to nondestructive evaluation. Ultrasound may characterize solid materials and components noninvasively as a nondestructive evaluation modality and obtain internal measurements of material properties. For example, the speed of ultrasound propagation changes with Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio, which can be found from its measurements. Traditional ultrasonic characterization assumes all material properties remain constant with the position. When thismore »« less
