In a free‐standing 400‐nm‐thick platelet of crystalline ZY‐LiNbO 3 , narrow electrodes (500 nm) placed periodically with pitch few microns can eXcite standing shear‐wave bulk acoustic resonances (XBARs), by utilising lateral electric fields oriented parallel to the Y ‐axis and plane platelet. The resonance frequency ∼4800 MHz is determined mainly thickness only weakly depends on electrode width pitch. Simulations show quality‐factors ( Q ) at anti‐resonance higher than 1000.

The superfluid density rho_s(T) = 1/lambda^2(T) has been measured at 2.64 GHz in highly underdoped YBCO, 37 dopings with T_c between 3 K and 17 K. Within limits set by the transition width Delta ~ 0.4 K, shows no evidence of critical fluctuations as T goes to T_c, a mean-field-like indication vortex unbinding. Instead, we propose that rho_s displays behaviour expected for quantum phase (3 + 1)-dimensional XY universality class, rho_s0 (p - p_c), p_c)^1/2 (T_c T)^1 T_c.

Recently, hierarchical cascading accelerated with graphics processing units (GPUs) has proven efficient for accelerating 3D periodic finite-element method (FEM) analysis of acoustic wave devices. However, the limited memory available in GPUs severely restricts accuracy simulations; moreover, numerical libraries are not fully matured yet. This paper considers two techniques to circumvent these limitations. Firstly, extend size problems that can be handled, use isolated operations. While...
