Measurements of the temperature dependence of surface acoustic wave velocity were performed for propagation on X, Y, A C, AT, and along the x axis of several other rotated Y cuts of quartz over the temperature range -25° to +75°C. A pulsed rf technique was employed. To facilitate the measurement of angular dependence of the temperature coefficient of velocity, surface wave delay lines were constructed in which the waves were excited on the quartz by means of an interdigital electrode structure on a glass substrate which was brought into contact with the quartz. Calculations of the temperature coefficients of velocity and delay time were performed using an iterative computer program based on the work of Coquin and Tiersten. The measurements and calculations are in good agreement in most cases, the largest discrepancy being approximately five percent. It is concluded that the orientation which best combines lowtemperature dependence of delay time, high coupling constant, and a minimum of deleterious side effects is 42!0 rotated V-cut quartz with propagation along the x axis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
