New model from NCBJ reveals unexpected effects of sound propagation in crystals
30-01-2026
Atomic-scale computer simulations allow us to study material properties that are inaccessible to traditional experimental methods. In his latest work, a scientist from the National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) has proposed a new model describing the propagation of sound in crystals, which reveals the existence of previously unknown dynamic effects and forces occurring in the crystal structure under the influence of an acoustic wave.
