High hydrogen permeability in the Nb–Zr–Ni eutectic alloy containing the primary body-centered-cubic (Nb, Zr) phase
Hydrogen permeability (), i.e., the product of hydrogen diffusion coefficient (D) and hydrogen solubility (K), of the as-cast Nb40Zr30Ni30 (mol %) alloy has been investigated. This alloy is composed o...

We demonstrate versatile generation of ultrahigh-frequency, tunable acoustic waves. A novel retroreflection-based pulse shaper is used to generate optical pulse sequences whose frequency is tunable in the 2–2000 GHz range through movement of a single delay line. Multiple-cycle acoustic waves are detected interferometrically at the back of a 15 nm aluminum transducing film and the back of a film-sample-film assembly configured for narrowband acoustic spectroscopy. ©2005 American Institute of Physics
