The scattering of a surface acoustic wave reaching a metallized surface region of a piezoelectric crystal is investigated by a numerical finite-difference method. The perturbation of the electric potential in the discontinuity neighborhood is shown, and the surface wave reflection is determined.
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.
