Abstract
Acoustic properties of synthetic opal filled with indium at different factors of pore filling is investigated using the pulse-interference technique in the frequency range from 4 to 8 MHz and in the temperature range of 300–480 K. A shift to lower temperatures and widening of the indium melting region in nanopores depending on the factor of pore filling is observed. It is shown that melting and crystallization of indium in pores during heating and cooling are accompanied with variations in velocity and absorption of longitudinal ultrasonic waves, respectively, under conditions that the filling factor exceeds the threshold value.
