Abstract

In condensed-matter physics, an ultrasonic wave is defined as a collective oscillation of atoms that compose a crystalline lattice. In this sense, ultrasonic waves are a natural choice for studying lattice imperfections, such as dislocations, point defects, grain boundaries, and nanometer-sized cracks. Many of the concepts discussed in this article are represented graphically in Figure 1.
