Acoustic microscopy of elastic discontinuities

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. A. Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1984
Abstract In the reflection-scanning acoustic microscope, interference fringes may be obtained from cracks and grain boundaries running at an angle to the surface. The periodicity of these fringes suggests that while sometimes they are caused by reflection of longitudinal waves within the specimen, when the feature is approximately ...

Self‐Assembled Inorganic Nanomembrane Tubes: Rolled‐Up Piezoelectrics for Microacoustic Wave‐Based Actuators and Sensors

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates a self‐assembly process to generate free‐standing piezoelectric nanomembranes, forming ultracompact microtubular acoustic wave sensors and actuators. The miniaturized 3D piezoelectric platform reported in this work can be applied in telecommunication, energy harvesting, and acoustofluidics. Moreover, the 3D self‐assembly can add

Tough, Ductile, and Strong Hard‐Soft Cementitious Composite Enabled by Multi‐Material Additive Manufacturing

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Drawing inspiration from the layered hard‐soft architecture found in sea sponges, this work establishes a new framework for architected cementitious composites (ACC) through multi‐material additive manufacturing (MMAM) process. The integration of mortar and elastomer phases into layered architectures enables synergistic toughening mechanisms, including

Ultrafast Vertical Organic Electrochemical Transistors With Ion‐Permeable Conductive Polymer Top Electrodes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Vertical organic electrochemical transistors (vOECTs) are limited in speed by ion‐impermeable metal electrodes that slow ion injection. Using ion‐permeable PBFDO top electrodes allows direct vertical ion injection into BBL channels, achieving high current densities (>400 A cm−2), large on/off ratios (>106), and ultrafast switching in 28 µs. This sets a

Resolution Enhancement Strategies in Photoacoustic Microscopy: A Comprehensive Review

Micromachines
Photoacoustic imaging has emerged as a promising modality for medical imaging since its introduction. Photoacoustic microscopy (PAM), which is based on the photoacoustic effect, combines the advantages of both optical and acoustic imaging modalities. PAM

Acoustic Microscopy for Imaging and Characterization

MRS Bulletin, 1996
Acoustic microscopy is useful for characterizing with high spatial resolution the elastic structure and properties of an object. A range of techniques is now available for doing this, which enables the user to select the method and instrument that is most appropriate for a particular requirement.

Laser‐Assisted Phase Engineering of 2D MoS2 for Efficient Solution‐Processed Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Here, local laser‐assisted phase transition from solution‐processed phase‐pure 1T′ to 2H MoS2 is shown to critically depend on the irradiation atmosphere. While processing in air leads to damaged insulating regions, inert conditions yield semiconducting 2H domains, enabling direct field‐effect transistor patterning with optimized lateral 1T′‐2H MoS2 ...

ACOUSTIC MICROSCOPY OF ULTRASONIC ATTENUATION

Le Journal de Physique Colloques, 1983
The scanning acoustic microscope can image ultrasonic attenuation. The plastic zone at a stressed notch has been imaged in transmission with the contrast arising from dislocation damping. Contrast in reflection is also shown to be sensitive to attenuation, enabling attenuation to be detected and imaged with spatial resolution of ~2µm.

Sonoenzymatically Triggered Cascading Degradation of Bioresorbable Materials for On‐Demand Transient Triboelectric Implants

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Our SEA strategy provides an efficient and biosafe approach for the on‐demand removal of implanted bioresorbable materials through cascading degradation that couples ultrasound‐triggered rapid mechanical disintegration with subsequent enzymatic degradation.

Hybrid Amyloid–Boron Nitride Aerogels for Lightweight Sound Insulation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Amyloid fibrils template the mild formation of boron nitride–rich hybrid aerogels with hierarchical porosity, enhanced BN‐like ordering, and fibril‐reinforced mechanics. These ultralight materials combine thermal stability with strong sound absorption and transmission loss, offering a sustainable bio‐assisted route toward lightweight acoustic shields ...
