Temperature Dependence of the Elastic, Piezoelectric, and Dielectric Constants of Lithium Tantalate and Lithium Niobate
Abstract
The elastic, piezoelectric, and dielectric constants, and their temperature dependence within the range 0°–110°C, have been determined for single crystals of lithium tantalate and lithium niobate. For each material, the constants were extracted from a combination of many ultrasonic phase-velocity measurements, the measured resonant and antiresonant frequencies of a single length-extensional bar resonator, and the measured low-frequency capacitances of two thin flat-plate specimens. For lithium tantalate, the normalized first temperature derivatives of the elastic constants range from −0.4 to −6.7×10−4/°C, while the derivatives for the piezoelectric stress constants range from −1.3 to +1.5×10−4/°C. In the case of lithium niobate, the elastic constant temperature derivatives are all on the order of −2×10−4/°C, while the piezoelectric temperature derivatives are all positive in the range 0.8–8.9×10−4/°C. The dielectric or permittivity temperature derivatives are positive for both materials.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
