Abstract
The interaction of a Gulyaev-Bluestain surface wave with a granular high-temperature superconducting (HTSC) medium has been investigated. For piezoelectrics of symmetry 4mm and 6mm, dispersion equations have been derived that describe the characteristics of surface acoustic waves (SAWs). The temperature dependences of the SAW attenuation and phase have been calculated forZnO andBa 2Si2TiO3 crystals. It is shown that at temperatures higher than the critical temperature an attenuation jump and a phase shift are observed. The effect intensifies with increase in the electromechanical coupling coefficient and with decrease in the thickness of the HTSC film. For theBa 2Si2TiO3 crystal the attenuation jump and phase shift are11 dB/cm and38 deg/cm, respectively, at a frequency of820 MHz. The results obtained can also be generalized for periodic HTSC structures and can be used to design frequency-selective devices and fast-response bolometric photodetectors.
