    High-temperature electromechanical loss in piezoelectric langasite and catangasite crystals
    (Melville, NY : American Inst. of Physics, 2021) Suhak, Yuriy; Fritze, Holger; Sotnikov, Andrei; Schmidt, Hagen; Johnson, Ward L.
    Temperature-dependent acoustic loss Q−1 is studied in partially disordered langasite (LGS, La3Ga5SiO14) and ordered catangasite (CTGS, Ca3TaGa3Si2O14) crystals and compared with previously reported CTGS and langatate (LGT, La3Ga5.5Ta0.5O14) data. Two independent techniques, a contactless tone-burst excitation technique and contacting resonant piezoelectric spectroscopy, are used in this study. Contributions to the measured Q−1(T) are determined through fitting to physics-based functions, and the extracted fit parameters, including the activation energies of the processes, are discussed. It is shown that losses in LGS and CTGS are caused by a superposition of several mechanisms, including intrinsic phonon–phonon loss, point-defect relaxations, and conductivity-related relaxations.

    Peculiarities of the Acoustic Wave Propagation in Diamond-Based Multilayer Piezoelectric Structures as “Me1/(Al,Sc)N/Me2/(100) Diamond/Me3” and “Me1/AlN/Me2/(100) Diamond/Me3” under Metal Thin-Film Deposition
    (Basel : MDPI, 2022) Kvashnin, Gennady; Sorokin, Boris; Asafiev, Nikita; Prokhorov, Viacheslav; Sotnikov, Andrei
    New theoretical and experimental results of microwave acoustic wave propagation in diamond-based multilayer piezoelectric structures (MPS) as “Me1/(Al,Sc)N/Me2/(100) diamond/Me3” and “Me1/AlN/Me2/(100) diamond/Me3” under three metal film depositions, including the change in the quality factor Q as a result of Me3 impact, were obtained. Further development of our earlier studies was motivated by the necessity of creating a sensor model based on the above fifth layered MPS and its in-depth study using the finite element method (FEM). Experimental results on the change in operational checkpoint frequencies and quality factors under the effect of film deposition are in satisfactory accordance with FEM data. The relatively small decrease in the quality factor of diamond-based high overtone bulk acoustic resonator (HBAR) under the metal layer effect observed in a wide microwave band could be qualified as an important result. Changes in operational resonant frequencies vs. film thickness were found to have sufficient distinctions. This fact can be quite explained in terms of the difference between acoustic impedances of diamond and deposited metal films.
