Abstract

The present paper describes the influence of a transverse electric field on surface wave propagation in a piezoelectric—semiconductor system, with consideration of surface states. The calculations show that a transverse electric field causes a change in the value of the attenuation coefficient and propagation velocity and can be used to control the magnitude of the attenuation.
