Picosecond shear waves in nano-sized solids and liquids

We will review recent progress on the generation and detection of picosecond shear acoustic waves. Examples will be shown in which the transverse isotropic symmetry of the sample structure is broken in order to permit shear wave generation through sudden laser heating. As an illustration of the tech...
