Abstract

We report results from a heterodyne-detected transient grating experiment on a three-component microemulsion system, consisting of water–AOT–decane. We studied the microemulsion characterized by a water-to-AOT ratio of X=40.8 and a volume fraction φ =0.50, in a temperature range around the percolation threshold. The measurements have been performed with two exchanged momenta q≈ 1 and 2μ m−1, corresponding to sound frequencies around 200 and 420 MHz. The measured sound velocities show small but significant evidence of the percolation transition in the temperature domain.
