Do THz acoustic waves propagate in glass?

Glasses exhibit atypical thermomechanical properties that are very different from those of crystals. Many of these peculiarities are closely linked to the existence of the boson peak, an excess of vibrational states whose origin...

Whispering gallery modes in microdiscs

Light can be confined within micro- or nanostructures, resulting in both resonance and energy localization. In cylindrical dielectric microstructures, resonant modes propagate along the circles bounding the cylinder: these are called whispering gallery modes....
