Acoustic Detection and Modeling of Phase Transitions at the Nanoscale

Posted on January 28, 2016 by Rhonda Ward

Our colleagues at Georgia Tech and Oak Ridge demonstrate acoustic detection in nanoscale volumes by the use of an atomic force microscope. Elastic changes in volume are measured by detecting changes in resonance of the cantilever. Reza has provided theoretical guidance, modeling the electric field driven phase transformation using Landau theory.
