Shear-horizontal acoustic waves in piezoelectric plates borderedwith conductive liquid

摘要

The influence of a conductive liquid on the characteristics ofnshear-horizontal acoustic waves of zeroth order (SH0 mode)npropagating in thin piezoelectric plates of lithium tantalate, lithiumnniobate, and potassium niobate was investigated. Experimental resultsnobtained for SH0 mode devices fabricated on lithium niobatenplates are found to be in good agreement with theory. The data presentednin this paper is useful for a proper design of various acoustic wavensensors operating in contact with conductive liquids
