Piezoelectric Lanthanum Gallium Tantalate (LGT) Crystal Plates Description

Piezoelectric Lanthanum Gallium Tantalate (LGT) Crystal Plates are a type of synthetic crystal exhibiting piezoelectric properties, meaning they can convert mechanical pressure into electrical signals and vice versa. LGT belongs to the langasite family, which also includes other crystals such as langasite (La3Ga5SiO14) and langanite (La3Ga5.5Nb0.5O14). These crystals are known for their excellent piezoelectric coefficients, high-temperature stability, and low acoustic loss, making them suitable for a variety of applications.

In comparison to conventional piezoelectric materials such as quartz, PZT (lead zirconate titanate), and lithium niobate (LiNbO3), LGT crystals offer superior temperature stability and reduced acoustic loss at high frequencies. These characteristics make LGT an attractive option for advanced applications requiring high performance and reliability under challenging conditions.

Piezoelectric Lanthanum Gallium Tantalate (LGT) Crystal Wafer Application

• High-temperature sensors: Their capability to operate at elevated temperatures makes them ideal for sensors in the automotive, aerospace industries, and industrial process monitoring applications.
• Frequency control and timing devices: LGT quartz are used in oscillators and filters for telecommunications and precise timing devices due to their stability and low phase noise.
• Acoustic wave devices: The low acoustic loss is beneficial for surface acoustic waves (SAW) and bulk acoustic waves (BAW) used in RF filters and resonators.
• Energy harvesting: The efficiency of LGT crystals in converting mechanical energy to electrical energy renders them suitable for energy harvesting applications, where they can power small electronic devices from ambient vibrations.
