Microwave reflections from vibrating inhomogeneous conducting surfaces
Abstract
Vibrating oxidized iron surfaces have been shown experimentally to produce modulated microwave reflections which are not present for clean surfaces. An experimental and theoretical program is pursued to explain this effect in terms of the strain dependence of resistivity of the iron oxides, and of the oxide junctions between metallic grains.
