Abstract

Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) resonances were imaged within a closed domain in the ferroelectric LiTaO3 via scanning Microwave Impedance Microscopy (MIM). The MIM probe is used for both SAW generation and measurement, allowing the contact-less measurement within a mesoscopic structure. Measurements taken over a range of microwave frequencies are consistent with a constant acoustic velocity, demonstrating the acoustic nature of the measurement.
