Abstract: The invention relates to an acoustic wave device comprising a layer of ferroelectric material (C) and a substrate (S), characterized in that the layer of ferroelectric material lies between a first electrode (E1) which is deposited on the surface of the substrate or is a constituent part of the substrate and a second electrode (E2) and in that the layer of ferromagnetic material comprises positive first polarization domains (D1) and negative second polarization domains (D2)

Abstract: A quartz crystal plate (L) is used in determining the frequency of a frequency generator, and the frequency determined by said plate is variable as a function of temperature. The quartz plate constitutes the substrate for a surface acoustic wave device, e.g. a resonator or a delay line using comb transducers (1 & 2). The orientation in the quartz crystal of the plane over which the acoustic wave propagates, and the direction of propagation in said plane are defined in terms of a doubly rotated frame of reference as follows: the plate being a double rotation cutting plate defined by yxwl: .phi./.theta., one large surface of which is used for the propagation of a surface wave whose direction of propagation makes an angle .psi. with the second axis of rotation, where the first angle .phi. lies in the range 9.degree.24' to 13.degree.24', the second angle .theta. lies in the range 57.degree.24' to 61.degree.24', and the angle .psi. lies in the range 33.degree. to 37.degree..

Abstract: The invention relates to quartz plates. The plate is a plate with double rotation. The angle .phi. lies between 6.degree. and 10.degree.. The angle .theta. lies between -41.degree.45' and -38.degree.55'. The direction of propagation forms an angle of .PSI. with an axis deduced from the electrical axis by the rotation .phi. of the plate and .PSI. lies between 26.degree. and 28.degree.. The angles .phi., .theta. and .PSI. satisfy the equation .phi.-.theta.-.PSI.=21.degree.42'.+-.8'. Application to surface waves.
