Principle of measurements of the shear elastic modulus of colloidal crystals. Shear deformation tilts crystal planes and deforms the corresponding Kossel line. The sensitive area of the photodiode is located at the edge of the Kossel line. Due to the finite height of the sample, eigenmodes of the shear deformation of the colloidal crystal depend on two variables: the radius r and the height z.
Amplitude of oscillations of the Kossel line detected by the photodiode plotted versus the frequency of oscillations. Resonances correspond to shear eigenmodes of the cylindrical sample of finite height with the ratio R/H=0.58.
Variation of the frequency of eigenmodes with the aspect ratio R/H. Theoretical prediction.
