- This invention relates "to piezoelectric -crystal apparatus and particularly to thickness shear mode piezoelectric crystal elements comprising crystalline ammonium "dihydrogen phosphate (NHiHzPOi), potassium 'dihydrogen phosphate (KH2PO4), ammonium dihydrogen arsenate (NH4H2ASO4), potassium dihydrogen arsenate (KHzASOi) and isomorphous combinations.
- NHiHzPOi crystalline ammonium "dihydrogen phosphate
- KH2PO4 potassium 'dihydrogen phosphate
- NH4H2ASO4 ammonium dihydrogen arsenate
- KHzASOi potassium dihydrogen arsenate
- Suchcrystal elements are useful as electromechanical transducers utilized, for example, in sonic or supersonic projectors, microphones, pick-up devices and detectors. Also, theymay be utilized asfrequency control elements in electric wave filter systems, oscillation generator systems and amplifier systems. Other applications for such crystal elements may include harmonic producers, and, in general, any application Where either a resonant or nonresonant piezoelectriccrystal element may be utilized.
- the non-linear hysteresis loop characteristics of the non-resonant crystal may bemade use of to produce overtones or harmonics therefrom.
- One ofthe objects of this invention is to provide useful orientations and modes of motion in crystal elements made from crystalline ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, ammonium dihydrogen arsenate, potassiumddihydrogen -arsenate and isomorphous combinations. or ii H I M
- Otherobjects of "this invention are to provide crystal elements comprising dihydrogen phosphate and arsenals substances that may possess useful characteristics, such as large piezoelectric constants, large'vibrational motion, minimum coupling of the'desired mode of motion with undesired "modesof motion therein, and temperature coefiicients of frequency that may'h'ave'th'e relatively lower values.
- I V u Another object "of this "invention is to 'take advantageof the high piezoelectric activity, the low cost and other advantagesof crystalline amhydrogen phosphate -and arsenate crystals.
- Crystal elements of suitable orientation "but from crystalline ammonium dihydrog'en "phosphate/potassium dihydrogen phosphate, potassium dihydrogen arsenate, ammonium dihydrogen arsenate and isomorphous combinations thereof maybe excited in dififerent modes of motion, such as longitudinal length, longitudinal width or longitudinal thicknessmodes of'moeen,
- Crystal elements composed of crystalline ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, potassium dihydrogen arsenate, ammonium 'dihydro'gen' arsenate and isomorphous' combinations may have piezoelectric and elastic cbnstants'onmoduli of considerable interest for use inelectromechanical transducers,
- crystal cuts are pro- 'vided that may he 'utilized for these purposes and-others.
- the t'y'pes of crystal cuts may be divided into several categories, 'suchas (a)'crystal cuts that have "relatively large piezoelectric 'constantsandherice maybe driven strongly'piezoele'ctrically, (b) crystal cuts 'that have advantageous "elastic -properties, "such that the long-itudinal'face modes of motion therein are free from” coupling to' the faceshear modes of motion therein, and face shear mode crystal elements that "are free from coupling'with other modes ofmotion therein; and (c) crystal cuts that may have the-relatively lower values of temperature coeflicients of frequency.
- Crystal elements comprising ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, p'otassium dihydrogen phosphate, ammonium -dihydrogen arsenate, potassium' dihydrogen arsenate and isomorphous combinations also possess I ferroelectric properties such as large dielectric constants, hysteresis loops andnon linearity ofcharge field.
- the temperature coefficients of frequency for certain of theprincipal cuts are roughly of the order of 100 to 300 parts per million per degree centigrade;
- the dielectric constants decrease slightly with an increase in temperature while the piezoelectric constants relating charge and stress are nearly independent of temperature. Since the ammonium dihydrogen phosphate crystals have the relatively higher values of electromechanical coupling, and are free from water of crystallization which eliminates dehydration in the crystal, and will stand relatively high operating temperatures of the order of 180 C., or more, they are useful as driving elements for all transducer applications, such as projectors and microphones in underwater sound work, for example.
- this type of crystal may be used as a substitute for quartz frequency control elements in filter and oscillator applications, especially when ;used with temperature control.
- the crystal cuts having the relatively lower temperature coefficients of frequency may be used at ordinary temperatures without temperature control.
- ammonium dihydrogen phosphate crystal elements may be constructed to have the largest values of piezoelectric constants of the four crystalline dihydrogen phosphate and arsenate salts mentioned, and also generally, are relatively more easy to grow in the sizes and shapes that are useful for cutting crystal elements therefrom.
- crystal elements disclosed in this specification may have conductive electrode coatings on their major surfaces of any suitable composition

If the d36 piezoelectric constant of the substance has a large value, as it does in thecase of the several dihydrogen salt crystals here considered, then a Z axis fieldapplied thereto may produce a strong shear motion in the XY plane of the crystal body.
- the value of the elastic compliance and shear stiffness for rotated crystal elements may be calculated from the fundamental elastic matrix given in Equation 1 in my parent application hereinbefore referred to; One method of doing this is by the short-hand matrix method discussed in a paper The mathematicsof crystal properties, by W. L. Bond, Bell System Technical Journal, January 1943, page 1, using the matrix Where the axes X, Y and Z of the rotated crystals are related to the crystallographic axes X, Y and Z by the direction cosines 21 to m, 11 being the direction cosine between X and X, m the direction cosine between Z and Z, etc. As'shown by Bond, the elastic compliances of rotated crystals are given in terms of the elastic compliances of unrotated crystals by the product of the matrices.

- the crystal shapeillustrated in Fig. 1 may be varied somewhat to obtain either needle-shaped crystals, or the more compact or short prism form as illustratedin Fig. l.
- Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate produces short and thick prismatic crystals at room temperature. If liquor is added in excess, all of these salts may be crystallized in short prisms at room temperature.
- the short thick form of crystal l, as illustrated in Fig. 1, is generally the more convenient form for cutting the various orientations of crystal plates therefrom.

- the crystal element 2 of Fig. 2 may be cut from any of the crystalline phosphate and arsenate substances illustrated in Fig. l, and, by specifying the values for the three angles 0, q: and t of Fig. 2 may generally designate the orientation of any of the several crystal elements disclosed in this specification and illustrated in Figs. 3 to 5 of the drawing.
- Suitable conductive electrodes such as the crystal electrodes 3 and 4 of Fig. 2 may be placed on or adjacent to or formed integral with the opposite major faces of any of the crystal plates disclosed herein in order to apply electric field excitation thereto.
- the crystal electrodes 3 and 4 when formed integral with the surfaces of any of the crystal elements 2 may consist of gold, platinum, aluminum, silver or other suitable conductive material deposited upon the crystal surfaces by evaporation in vacuum, painting, spraying, or by other suitable process. If desired, the crystal element 2 may be electroplated to the desired frequency by nickel plating or otherwise.
- the thickness shear mode crystal elements illustrated in Figs. 3 to 5 may be utilized at the relatively high thickness mode frequencies, fundamental or harmonic, to generate high frequency waves in liquids for submarine detection and also may be used as frequency control elements in electric wave filter systems, oscillation generator systems and for other purposes where arelatively high frequency or thickness mode crystal element may be desired.
