Acoustic Modes at the Twist Boundary in Piezoelectric Crystals

详细

The transformations of the shear (SH and SV) and longitudinal (L) acoustic waves at the twist boundary in piezoelectrics of ̅62m and ̅42m the and classes have been investigated. This boundary is formed at a hard contact between two identical crystal half-spaces rotated relative to each other around the Z||̅6||̅4 axis by an angle 2ϕ. Propagation occurs along the bisector of this angle (х axis) in the (x, y) twist plane. Situations have been established in which the shear modes are localized at the twist boundary exclusively due to the combination of the piezoelectric effect and half-space rotation, as well as the joint effect of the elastic anisotropy and rotation. The cases of independence of a bulk wave of the half-space rotation and occurrence of leaky waves are described.
