Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, I have developed a method to accurately measure the sound velocity of functional materials, which are widely used in wireless communication devices such as cell phone. Using home built optics, I succeeded in observing ultrasound propagations in micro-order films with two different incident angle, which enable me to measure the sound velocity, refractive index, and film thickness of the film at the same time. Furthermore, I have measured the temperature dependence of acoustic properties of functional materials such as AlN and diamond. These results contribute to device design and give many important knowledge for material science.
