The paper discusses the properties of the acoustic waves guided by an interface inside piezoelectric media. The interfaces of two types have been considered: (i) an infinitesimally thin metallic layer inserted into homogeneous piezoelectric crystal of arbitrary symmetry; (ii) rigidly bonded crystals whose piezoelectric coefficients differ by sign while the other material constants are identical. Several general theorems have been proved regarding the existence of interface acoustic waves (IAWs) propagating more slowly than bulk waves. In particular, a sufficient condition for the existence of such ‘slow’ IAWs has been derived. The propagation of leaky IAWs has been studied. Special attention has been paid to the analysis of the situation when the imaginary component of the leaky IAW velocity vanishes, resulting in the appearance of non-attenuating IAWs travelling faster than the slow transverse bulk wave. The computations performed for LiNbO 3 and LiTaO 3 illustrate general conclusions.

ABSTRACTIn this paper, we utilized a Stroh based formulation for solving problems of surface waves in layered piezoelectric media, and then, applied it to analyze surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices. The determination of the optimal cut of a piezoelectric crystal and the choice of the best propagation of SAW devices were given. The dispersion induced by a thin metal layer on SAW propagation in a SAW device was analyzed and discussed. Finally, we applied the formulation to calculate the effective permittivity and phase velocity dispersion of a LiNbO3/Diamond layered SAW device. Both of the null frequency bandwidth and the insertion loss of the dispersive SAW device were obtained.

Considerable and continuing interest has been shown in the thin film transducer fabrication for surface acoustic waves (SAW) in the past few years. Due to the high degree of miniaturization, compatibility with silicon integrated circuit technology, simplicity and ease of design, this new technology has played an important role in the design of new devices for communications and signal processing. Among the commonly used piezoelectric thin films, ZnO generally yields superior electromechanical properties and is expected to play a leading role in the development of SAW devices.
