Abstract:The electrical conductivity, resonance frequency and piezoelectric strain constants are determined for ordered piezoelectric Ca3TaGa3Si2O14 (CTGS) single crystals from room temperature to 900 • C. The latter result from three independent methods, namely resonant, ultrasonic pulse-echo, and laser Doppler vibrometry techniques, which allows validating the results. Further, the long-term behaviour of fundamental materials properties including electrical conductivity and resonance frequency are examined at 1000 • … Show more
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.
