Stress- and temperature-compensated orientations for thickness-shear langasite resonators for high-temperature and high-pressure environment

摘要

This paper describes an exhaustive study of the variations of the mean force sensitivity coefficients in the entire region of crystalline langasite (LGS). We also study the variation of temperature coefficients in the entire region of the crystalline LGS and its isomorphs. The computational results have been obtained from a procedure that has been successfully employed in the study of the planar and temperature stressinduced frequency shifts in thickness-mode resonators. Both the fast and slow thickness-shear modes have been studied. Among other things, the loci of orientations with zero stress and temperature coefficients of frequency have been identified for LGS.
