Abstract
Development and search for new advanced materials of the lanthanum gallium silicate group with unique thermal properties is of great importance for the development of acoustoelectronics based on volume and surface acoustic waves. The processes of surface acoustic wave excitation and propagation in the La3Ga5.3Ta0.5Al0.2O14 crystal was studied using a double−crystal X−ray diffractometer with a BESSY II synchrotron radiation source. The X−ray diffraction spectra of acoustically modulated crystals were used to measure the surface acoustic wave velocity and power flow angles in different acoustic cuts of the La3Ga5.3Ta0.5Al0.2O14 crystal.
