Influence of Coupling Between Rayleigh and SH SAWs on Rotated -Cut LiNbO3 to Their Propagations
Abstract:
This paper investigates the influence of coupling between Rayleigh and shear-horizontal (SH) surface acoustic waves (SAWs) on rotated Y-cut LiNbO3 to their electromechanical coupling. For the purpose, a coupling-of-mode (COM) model including the coupling between two SAWs is developed, and the coupling influences to their excitation in addition to electromechanical coupling factors are discussed. Then, its validity is confirmed by comparison of its results with the finite-element method analysis. Comparing with the conventional COM shows this extended COM model could fit the complex value area much better in the dispersion curve analysis. After that, variation of COM parameters with the device design is discussed. Then, all COM parameters are fit by polynomial equations and the procedures to find the optimal rotation angle are obtained in terms of the SH mode suppression. It indicates that the optimal angle changes rapidly at certain Cu thickness, which is due to decoupling between two SAW modes. At last, structure based on the low-cut LiNbO3 is discussed and the validity of this COM model is further confirmed.

Propagation of Waves
Consider a scenario where a wave propagates from a string of low linear mass density to a string of high linear mass density. In such a case, the reflected wave is out of phase with respect to the incident wave, however the...
Propagation of Action Potentials
Neurons (nerve cells) have a resting membrane potential, with a slightly negative charge inside compared to outside. This is maintained by ion channels, such as sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) channels, which control the flow of ions. When a stimulus, like a touch or a signal from another neuron, triggers the neuron, sodium channels open, allowing sodium ions to...
Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
Spin–Spin Coupling: Three-Bond Coupling (Vicinal Coupling)
The extent of coupling depends on the C‑C bond length, the two H‑C‑C angles, any electron-withdrawing substituents, and the dihedral angle between the involved orbitals. The...
