Observation of a Snap-Through Instability in Graphene
Scott Scharfenberg, Nikhita Mansukhani, Cesar Chialvo +2
We examine the competition between adhesive and bending energies for few-layered graphene samples placed on rigid, microscale-corrugated substrates. Using atomic force microscopy,…
Probing the mechanical properties of graphene using a corrugated elastic substrate
Scott Scharfenberg, D. Z. Rocklin, Cesar Chialvo +3
The exceptional mechanical properties of graphene have made it attractive for nano-mechanical devices and functional composite materials. Two key aspects of graphene's mechanical b…
Classical wave experiments on chaotic scattering
U. Kuhl, H. -J. Stoeckmann, R. Weaver
We review recent research on the transport properties of classical waves through chaotic systems with special emphasis on microwaves and sound waves. Inasmuch as these experiments…
Variance of transmitted power in multichannel dissipative ergodic structures invariant under time reversal
Igor Rozhkov, Yan V. Fyodorov, Richard L. Weaver
We use random matrix theory (RMT) to study the first two moments of the wave power transmitted in time reversal invariant systems having ergodic motion. Dissipation is modeled by a…
Non-exponential Dissipation in a Lossy Elastodynamic Billiard, Comparison with Porter-Thomas and Random Matrix Predictions
Oleg I. Lobkis, Igor S. Rozhkov, Richard L. Weaver
We study the dissipation of diffuse ultrasonic energy in a reverberant body coupled to a waveguide, an analog for a mesoscopic electron in a quantum dot. A simple model predicts a…
Statistics of transmitted power in multichannel dissipative ergodic structures
Igor Rozhkov, Yan V. Fyodorov, Richard L. Weaver
We use the Random Matrix Theory (RMT) to study the probability distribution function and moments of the wave power transmitted inside systems with ergodic wave motion. The results…
