Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• AFM tip focuses GHz ultrasound through natural horn-like geometry. • Tip echo amplitudes exceed geometric predictions by up to 150x between 20–50 GHz. • Mode conversion at the tip apex redistributes energy between longitudinal and transverse waves. • Optimized tip geometry potentially enhances acoustic transmission and imaging SNR. • Demonstrates AFM cantilevers as nanoscale GHz ultrasound transducers.
