ACOUSTIC ATTENUATION OF SURFACE ACOUSTIC WAVES IN SUPERCONDUCTING THIN FILMS OF AMORPHOUS Bi

Abstract
The surface acoustic wave (SAW) propagating on a piezoelectric substrate is accompanied by electric fields which can interact with charge carriers in an adjacent metal film. This interaction causes the attenuation of the SAW. We studied the interaction between the SAW and the normal electrons in the amorphous Bi film which is evaporated on a LiNbO3 substrate. The product of the mobility (μ) and the Fermi energy (EF) of the amorphous Bi was obtained from the experimental results and was evaluated to be 2.4x103(cm2/Vs)eV. And the steep change of the attenuation due to the acoustoelectric effect has been observed at the superconducting temperature Tc.
