Abstract
Propagation of Rayleigh acoustic waves below the surface of piezoelectric solids, coated with a thin layer, approximately 0.1–10 µm thick, is suggested as a tool for the experimental analysis of surface phenomena such as gas phase adsorption, desorption, diffusion, corrosion, etc. Facilities of the tool are demonstrated on considering hydrogen and water vapor adsorption on porous (polyvinil alcohol, palladium, palladium-nickel films) and monolithic (quartz, LiNbO3) materials. The number of adsorbed particles, the changes in temperature, mass, density, elastic constants and electric conductivity of the layer are evaluated both for steady-state and kinetic conditions.
