Measuring bulk and surface acoustic modes in diamond by angle-resolved Brillouin spectroscopy
Abstract
The acoustic modes of diamond not only are of profound significance for studying its thermal conductivity, mechanical properties and optical properties, but also play a determined role in the performance of high-frequency and high-power acoustic wave devices. Here we report the bulk acoustic waves (BAWs) and surface acoustic waves (SAWs) of single crystal diamond by using the angle-resolved Brillouin light scattering (BLS) spectroscopy. We identify two high-velocity surface skimming bulk waves, with sound velocities of 1.277x106 and 1.727x106 cm/s, respectively. Furthermore, we conduct the relationship among the refractive index, incident angle and the velocities of BAWs propagating along an arbitrary direction. Our results may provide a valuable reference for fundamental researches and devices engineering in the community of diamond-based acoustic study.
