“…Since the last 20 years, new piezoelectric materials have been developed, among them, Gallium orthophosphate (GaPO 4 ) [1] and the Langasite family (Lanthanum Gallium Silicate La 2 Ga 5 SiO 14 LGS [2], Lanthanum gallium tantalate, La 3 Ga 5.5 Ta 0.5 O 14 LGT [3])h a v e been studied in detail for high-performance piezoelectric resonator applications. The reasons of this interest are the material is now available commercially in crystal sizes compatible with production machines used in the industry; GaPO 4 , LGS and LGT can be used at high temperatures without loosing their piezoelectric properties; GaPO 4 , LGS and LGT exhibit temperature-compensated cuts for various modes of vibration: bulk waves, surface waves, vibrating beams and cylinders.…”
