With the development of micro and nanotechnologies, integrated structures based on piezoelectric thin films are widely investigated and their characterization become a crucial issue for the development of new applications. A laser interferometry is here used to assess the mechanical ... Read More
The design of surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices needs the accurate study of the scattering fields, arising from the interaction of SAW with periodic irregularities placed on a surface of crystal to form interdigital transducers or reflective structures (RS). To solve this problem, the ... Read More
FEM (Finite Element Method) modelling software such as COMSOL Multiphysics® can be a powerful tool for modelling the behavior and response of piezoelectric materials and devices [1]. Devices based on piezoelectric crystals are particularly well suited, because the polarization magnitude ... Read More
