Abstract
High overtone acoustic resonator with yttrium iron garnet/zinc oxide layered structure was theoretically considered, fabricated, and experimentally investigated. The theory of the resonator, containing an arbitrary number of magnetic and nonmagnetic dielectric/ferroelectric layers, placed in a transverse magnetic field is presented. The simulation shows the possibility to tune the resonant frequency in the range of ±1 MHz by magnetic field. This tuning is due to the resonance magnetoelastic interaction in the saturated ferrite film and the total phase shift of acoustic wave in the structure. The experiment proves the magnetic field influence on resonance frequencies and attenuation of transverse wave with polarization vector quasicollinear with the field direction. The tuning about 0.25 MHz near the acoustic resonant frequency 2 GHz was obtained in the field 260 Oe. This frequency is close to the ferromagnetic resonance frequency in ferrite film, corresponding to the field applied.
