R. Komatsu et al., CONSIDERATION OF SMALL VARIATION OF SURFACE-ACOUSTIC-WAVE (SAW) VELOCITY IN LITHIUM TETRABORATE, JPN J A P 1, 35(5B), 1996, pp. 3180-3183
It has been experimentally revealed that the variation of surface acou
stic wave (SAW) velocity in lithium tetraborate crystals is smaller th
an that in other SAW crystals. This may relate to the small deviation
of lattice constant due to the little change in chemical composition o
f the wafer. Such homogeneity can be explained by the specific composi
tional properties of Li2B4O7 crystal and its melt.
