Interaction of a Contact Resonance of Microspheres with Surface Acoustic Waves

We study the interaction of surface acoustic waves (SAWs) with a contact-based vibrational resonance of 1  μm silica microspheres forming a two-dimensional granular crystal adhered to a substrate. The laser-induced transient grating technique is used to excite SAWs and measure their dispersion. The...
