The coupling coefficient is calculated for the SAW propagating along an arbitrary direction. It is found that the coupling strength is largely dependent on the propagating direction. When the SAW propagates along the [011] direction, the coupling becomes quite weak.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-08-02T02:35:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "interaction", "two-dimensional electron gas beneath", "surface acoustic wave propagates", "elastic host crystal", "gaas semiconductor" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
