Raman scattering spectra and elastic constants of KPb 2 Cl 5 crystals have been studied. The results obtained are interpreted in terms of the ab initio lattice dynamics model taking into account multipole moments of ionic electron envelopes. The experimental results have been found to be in good agreement with numerical simulation; the narrow phonon spectra are shown to be due to a considerable contribution of heavy cations into the eigenvectors of the higher frequency lattice modes.
The effect of mass loading on the phase velocities of the surface acoustic wave dispersion modes in the Me/ZnO/Me/diamond piezoelectric layered structure as a function of frequency, metallic, and piezoelectric layer thickness has been investigated. Aluminum, molybdenum, and platinum were considered as the metallic layer materials. It has been demonstrated that the change in the phase velocities substantially depends on the acoustic impedance of the metal layer and its thickness. Results obtained can be useful in the development of controlled acoustoelectronic devices and sensors operating on the Rayleigh and Love waves.
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.
