Acoustic phase velocity measurements with nanometer resolution by scanning acoustic force microscopy

With the increasing interest in nanostructures and thin films, the need for a quantitative measuring method for elastic constants on the nanometer scale has become more evident. The fundamental physical quantity characterizing the elastic constants is the acoustic phase velocity. Due to the strong l...
