A study of picosecond ultrasonic waves propagation in Au/V superlattices in period 30-120 A is presented. Au/V structures were grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on MgO substrate. High-frequency ultrasonic waves in Au/V structures were generated by using ultrashort laser pulse excitation and detected in real time by measuring the strain-induced change in reflectivity with pump-probe technique. High-frequency oscillations were detected over the first 150 ps. Series of the oscilations were generated when therminated layer is made of the material with the lowest acoustic impedance (vanadium for Au/V multilayer). The author attributes these oscillations to surface mode localized in the frequency band gap of the dispersion curve.
