方波驱动下双气泡的动力学行为*

探索方波驱动下双气泡的脉动规律,能够促进方波在声空化工程中的实际应用。本文通过数值求解双气泡耦合方程组,研究了方波驱动下双气泡的动力学行为,得到了多种条件下不同时刻两个气泡半径的数值,并以此计算出气泡间的次Bjerknes力。研究表明,增大驱动频率会使得两个气泡膨胀时能达到的最大半径和次Bjerknes力减小。当两个气泡的平衡半径不同时,其中一个气泡的剧烈收缩会使得另一个气泡产生一个振动方向相反的声脉冲。随着两个气泡平衡半径差距的增加,气泡收缩的时间间隔增大。此外,当驱动声压幅值逐渐增大时,气泡脉动规律也会发生很大的变化。

Integrable models for the dynamics of a longitudinal-transverse acoustic wave in a crystal with paramagnetic impurities

We theoretically study the evolution of longitudinal-transverse acoustic pulses propagating parallel to an external magnetic field in a system of resonant paramagnetic impurities with an effective spin S=1/2. For equal group velocities of the longitudinal and transverse waves, the pulse dynamics is shown to be described by evolution equations. In limiting cases, these equations reduce to equations integrable in terms of the inverse scattering transform method (ISTM). For the most general integrable system of equations that describes the dynamics of acoustic pulses outside the scope of the slow-envelope approximation, we derive the corresponding ISTM equations. These equations are used to find a soliton solution and a self-similar solution. The latter describes the leading edge of the packet of acoustic pulses generated when the initial unstable state of a spin system decays. Analysis of our solutions and models indicates that the presence of a longitudinal acoustic wave leads not only to a change in the amplitude and phase of the transverse wave but also to a qualitatively new dynamics of sound in such a medium.     

Nonlinear acoustic transparency phenomena in strained paramagnetic crystals

Nonlinear dynamics of longitudinal acoustic pulses propagating in a strained paramagnetic cubic crystal at low temperature is analyzed. The direction of constant uniform strain is parallel to one of the fourth-order symmetry axes. Effective-spin 1 ions are considered as paramagnetic impurities with the strongest spin-lattice interaction. In this medium, normally degenerate magnetic sublevels are dynamically shifted by the quadrupole Stark effect, and the frequencies of the transitions induced by an acoustic pulse change accordingly. The self-consistent system of equations derived in this study without using the slowly varying envelope approximation describes pulse propagation at an arbitrary angle to the direction of the static strain. Exponentially and rationally decaying monopolar and breather-like solutions to the system are obtained. An analysis of the solutions reveals an asymmetry of the pulse polarity depending on the type of strain (extension or compression) and the pulse propagation direction. In particular, it is shown that acoustic transparency associated with monopolar strain pulses exhibits threshold behavior. The sign of the time area (zeroth harmonic) of breather-like strain pulses is such that the transition frequency averaged over an oscillation period dynamically decreases. This behavior determines the efficiency of generation of high-order harmonics of acoustic pulses in strained paramagnetic crystals.     

The evolution of longitudinal and transverse acoustic waves in a medium with paramagnetic impurities

We study the bipartial interaction of longitudinal and transverse acoustic pulses with a system of paramagnetic impurities with an effective spin S=1/2 in a crystalline layer or on a surface in the presence of an arbitrarily directed external constant magnetic field. We derive a new system of evolution equations that describes this interaction and show that, in the absence of losses, for equal phase velocities of these acoustic components, and under the condition of their unidirectional propagation, the original system reduces to a new integrable system of equations. The derived integrable system describes the pulse dynamics outside the scope of the slow-envelope approximation. For one of the reductions of the general model that corresponds to the new integrable model, we give the corresponding equations of the inverse scattering transform method and find soliton solutions. We investigate the dynamics and formation conditions of the phonon avalanche that arises when the initial completely or incompletely inverted state of the spin system decays. We discuss the application of our results to describing the interaction dynamics of spins and acoustic pulses in various systems with an external magnetic field.     

Multi-parameter characterization of the longitudinal plasma profile of a filament: a comparative study

The longitudinal plasma profile of a laboratory scale filament induced by the propagation of an intense femtosecond laser pulse in air was measured simultaneously by three different methods. Each of them is based on a specific property of the filament, including electromagnetic pulse emission, backward emitted nitrogen fluorescence, and acoustic wave generation. Although each of above methods has been separately reported, it is the first time that a simultaneous multi-parameter measurement on a laser filament is presented. Such multiparameter measurement allows a direct comparison between the different methods, and a better understating of the dynamics of a filament from its generation through multi-photon/tunnel ionization (MPI/TI) to its damping through acoustic wave emission. The advantages as well as drawbacks of each method are analyzed in a comparative way. PACS 42.65.Jx; 42.68.Ay; 42.68.Wt     

Relaxation dynamics of a broadband nanosecond acoustic pulse in a bubbly medium

The first experimental observation of the propagation dynamics of a short broadband acoustic pulse in a resonance medium with gas bubbles is carried out. The probing pulse is generated using the optoacoustic effect. It is shown that the theory of short pulse propagation in media with generalized resonance relaxation adequately and accurately describes the dynamics of short pulse dispersion. A possibility to determine the relaxation and resonance parameters of media by the pulsed testing technique is demonstrated.     

Peculiarities of the rotational dynamics of an ensemble of diatomic homonuclear molecules in a strong laser field

The rotational dynamics of an ensemble of molecules in a laser field has been studied. The results obtained within the framework of the quantum-mechanical and classical approaches have been compared. The features of the rotational dynamics connected with the non-classical character of the system have been described. It was taken into account that before the interaction with a laser pulse the ensemble was in a thermodynamically equilibrium mixed state. The case of an ultrashort laser pulse has been considered as well.     

Influence of relaxations on acoustic solitons

The influence of the transverse and longitudinal magnetic relaxations on the propagation of an acoustic resonance soliton is considered. The dynamics of the changes of the width and frequency shift of acoustic pulse in both the Markovian and the non-Markovian cases are compared. It is shown that memory effects do cause a qualitatively change in the nature of the effects of transverse magnetic relaxations on an acoustic soliton, in comparison to that of the Markovian case. The pulse width in both the Markovian and the non-Markovian cases for experimentally realized parameters are presented.

Thermal melting and ablation of silicon by femtosecond laser radiation

The space-time dynamics of thermal melting, subsurface cavitation, spallative ablation, and fragmentation ablation of the silicon surface excited by single IR femtosecond laser pulses is studied by timeresolved optical reflection microscopy. This dynamics is revealed by monitoring picosecond and (sub)nanosecond oscillations of probe pulse reflection, which is modulated by picosecond acoustic reverberations in the dynamically growing surface melt subjected to ablation and having another acoustic impedance, and by optical interference between the probe pulse replicas reflected by the spalled layer surface and the layer retained on the target surface. The acoustic reverberation periods change during the growth and ablation of the surface melt film, which makes it possible to quantitatively estimate the contributions of these processes to the thermal dynamics of the material surface. The results on the thermal dynamics of laser excitation are supported by dynamic measurements of the ablation parameters using noncontact ultrasonic diagnostics, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and optical interference microscopy of the modified regions appearing on the silicon surface after ablation.     

Laser detection of elastic waves diffraction by the crack’s edge

Diffraction effects and features of acoustic wave propagation in elastic media with the surface-breaking microcrack were investigated in detail for the pulse probing signals. The crack’s plane was oriented along the direction of longitudinal ultrasonic wave incidence in such a way that the detection of the crack with such an unfavorable spatial location was difficult by means of traditional acoustic techniques. Using laser Doppler interferometer a set of instantaneous pictures of acoustic field on the specimen’s surface, corresponding to the different moments of time was obtained. This allowed us to investigate and visualize the diffraction effects of acoustic field in dynamics. Using numerical modeling of diffraction processes of acoustic waves on the crack’s edge and top for pulse signals the origin of V-like structures on the snapshots of acoustic fields was explained and analyzed.     

Experimental investigation of cavitational bubble dynamics under multi-frequency system

Acoustic emission spectra measurements have been carried out under mono and multi-frequency acoustic sources to understand the fundamental difference in bubble/cavity dynamics. The effect of introducing the dual and triple frequency acoustic waves of different frequency on the sono-chemical yield has also been investigated experimentally. The introduction of a second wave has increased the number of cavitating bubbles and as well as the collapsing intensity of cavities resulting into higher sono-chemical yield, and better effective utilization of reactor volume with a large number of resonating cavitating bubbles. To get the information about the intensity of each of the cavity oscillating events, decomposition of the pressure signal measured by the hydrophone in the frequency domain of the FFT power spectrum has been carried out. Inverse fourier reconstruction technique, has been used to elaborate the dynamics of the cavitating bubbles in the multi-frequency system.     

A two-temperature model of optical excitation of acoustic waves in conductors

A two-temperature model of optical excitation of acoustic pulses in conductors has been developed. According to this model, the energy of light at first is absorbed by free carriers and only then is the optical pulse energy transferred to long-wavelength phonons of the conductor lattice. It is shown that the shape of the acoustic pulse excited by a laser in conductors can be presented as a convolution of the laser pulse envelope and the transfer function. An analytical dependence of the transfer function on time is derived.     

Generation and detection of acoustic solitons in crystalline slabs by laser ultrasonics

Acoustic solitons have been recently observed in different systems (Si, Sapphire, MgO, alpha-quartz). Such acoustic waves could lead to sub-picosecond acoustic pulses. In this paper, we report on the formation of acoustic solitons in a GaAs crystalline slab. A short picosecond acoustic pulse is generated by absorption of a femtosecond laser pulse in an aluminum thin film deposited on one side of the slab. This strain pulse travels through the sample up to the opposite side where it is detected by a time delayed laser pulse reflected by an aluminum transducer. We use interferometric detection to measure independently the real and imaginary parts of the relative change in optical reflectivity induced by the acoustic pulse. We find that, at low temperature and with a laser pump pulse energy of 10 nJ, an acoustic soliton clearly separates from the acoustic pulse in GaAs slab. The soliton shape is compared with numerical simulations for different excitation conditions. From the very unique properties of solitons, we infer a soliton pulse duration of about 2.3 ps which corresponds to a spatial extent of only 12 nm.     

Transient strain driven by a dense electron-hole plasma

We measure transient strain in ultrafast laser-excited Ge by time-resolved x-ray anomalous transmission. The development of the coherent strain pulse is dominated by rapid ambipolar diffusion. This pulse extends considerably longer than the laser penetration depth because the plasma initially propagates faster than the acoustic modes. X-ray diffraction simulations are in agreement with the observed dynamics.
