摘要
We examine the scattering of surface acoustic waves (SAWs) by single dots, periodic and locally damped two-dimensional dot lattices. Employing the scanning acoustic force microscope, SAW fields are imaged with nanometer resolution. We study the influence of a roughly wavelength-sized single dot on SAW diffraction. In order to distinguish between forward- and backscattered components, we insonify the dot with the pump and probe beam under 0 degrees and 90 degrees. We furthermore analyze the SAW diffraction by a regular dot array. The wave field appears to be localized around the dots. Adding surface distortions, the regular SAW localization pattern brakes down in the vicinity of the distortion. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
