Measured properties of doubly rotated dilithium tetraborate (Li(2)B(4)BO(7)) resonators and transducers.
Dilithium tetraborate plates, cut to the nominal angles of cut of (YXwl)40 degrees /33 degrees (TA-cut) and (YXwl)19 degrees /56 degrees (TC-cut), have been supplied by a crystal grower and have been processed into plate resonators. The mode spectra and electrical circuit parameters of the resonators have been examined for the fundamental, third, and fifth harmonics for all three thickness modes of the resonators. The observed values of frequency constants and piezoelectric coupling are in good agreement with the predicted values. The frequency-temperature behavior of the zero-temperature coefficient cuts has also been measured.
