Abstract

Velocities of leaky surface acoustic waves (LSAW/sub s/) were measured by using a line-focus polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) transducer and compared with theoretically calculated ones. Isotropic materials of Cu, Al, fused quartz, and anisotropic one of Z-cut α-quartz crystal were used as specimens. The velocities were obtained by the separation time between wave components reflected directly from the surface of specimen and LSAW components according to the defocusing distance. The measured velocities well agree with the theoretical results within 1% error, and it was shown that the leaky pseudo-surface acoustic wave (LPSAW) as well as the LSAW propagates with the typical 6-fold anisotropy on the (0,0,1) surface of α-quartz.

직선집속 PVDF 초음파 트랜스듀서를 이용하여 누설탄성표면파 (Leaky Surface Acoustic Wave: LSAW)의 전파속도를 측정하고, 그 결과를 이론해석 결과와 비교하였다. 시료로는 등방성 재료인 구리, 알루미늄 및 용융석영, 이방성 재료인 Z-cut α/sup-/수정을 사용하였다. 측정방법으로는 초점면에 위치한 시료를 트랜스듀서 쪽으로 접근시켰을 때 LSAW가 트랜스듀서의 중심축을 통과한 후 시료표면에서 직접 반사되어오는 종파와 분리되어지는 현상을 이용하였다. 음속의 측정결과는 이론 해석결과와 오차 1%이내에서 잘 일치하였으며,α/sup-/수정의 (0,0,1)면에서는 LSAW 외에 의사누설탄성표면파 (Leaky Pseudo Surface Acoustic Wave : LPSAW)가 전형적인 6-fold 이방성을 가지고 전파됨을 알 수 있었다.
