Some experimental results about laser ultrasonic NDE of nano-meter mat
erials of silver and copper (hereafter mnAg and nmCu) are obtained. A
pulsed laser is used as the ultrasonic source, and a capacitive transd
ucer as the receiver. The phenomenon related to the particle size effe
ct and the interface effect between particles of nano-mater material i
s observed. The response signal resulting from artificial interface la
yer in nmCu is clearly seen.
