Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) Sensors: Physics, Materials, and Applications (2022, background): “Z-direction These angles are utilized in the fabrication of the piezoelectric √ In the ﬁeld of SAW technologies, not only the bulk substrates but also the thin ﬁlm acoustic wave have attracted the attention of researchers over the past few years.”
The 2019 surface acoustic waves roadmap (2019, background): “One further advantage of using SAWs in such systems results from mechanical forces, which cause convective streaming within the liquid, and also, depending upon the nature of the induced flow, may enhance mass transfer for the rapid mixing of reagents [165, 166].”
On-chip manipulation of single microparticles, cells, and organisms using surface acoustic waves (2012, methodology): “In this regard, acoustic-based particle manipulation methods present excellent alternatives (24, 25).”
Surface Acoustic Wave Microfluidics (2014, background): “The acoustic radiation forces scale with a3 for SSAWs and a6 for traveling SAWs (Friend & Yeo 2011), and the viscous drag scales linearly with respect to the particle size a.”
