Introduction
Acoustoelectronic devices have finite dimensions and taking into account an elastic wave reflection and refraction from the crystalline plate boundary or two piezoelectric media interface is a topical issue [1]. A more complicated situation develops in multilayered structures, where it

is also necessary to take into account the interlayer interface, that is, the boundary between two crystalline layers. In this case both, transformation of the elastic vibration type and a surface wave excitation are possible when the bulk wave is reflected from the interlayer interface [2]. At present, a lot of experimental and theoretical studies of various acoustoelectronic devices mass sensitivity have been developed on the basis of multilayered piezoelectric structures operating on transverse and longitudinal thickness modes of elastic vibrations [2,3]. In particular, there are studies in which shear vibrations of resonators created on the basis of similar structures were used to create biosensors [4,5]. In the sensors based on the resonator with the layered piezoelectric structure, the electrodes thickness is often comparable to the piezoelectric film thickness and, therefore, they cannot be neglected. All the more so that the layers, for example, gold Au or platinum Pt electrodes, which are most often used as a suitable surface for various biochemical applications, have significant values of acoustic impedance [6]. However, studies of mass loading influence in the layered structure do not yet give an answer to the question of the main causes for phase velocity values variations in an elastic wave. Thus, taking into account the influence of the metal layers thickness on dispersion characteristics of an elastic wave in the multilayered piezoelectric structure is of key importance for the design optimization and increasing sensors sensitivity in similar structures [7,8].
The influence of mass loading in the form of metal layers above the piezoelectric layer on the dispersion characteristics of Rayleigh and Love elastic wave modes in piezoelectric layered structures "zinc oxide/diamond" ("ZnO/diamond") is theoretically studied in the present research paper. These materials have a set of important properties, such as large values of electromechanical coupling coefficient ZnO and significant values of the volume and surface phase velocities of an acoustic wave in diamond, which are widely used in various acoustoelectronic devices development. Aluminum (Al), molybdenum (Mo) and platinum (Pt) in the form of a sputtered thin film, that are metals that are most often used as electrodes, are considered as the metal layers material [9,10].
1. Theoretic basis for elastic waves propagation in a layered piezoelectric medium
Elastic waves of small amplitude propagate in a piezoelectric crystal unperturbed by external influences. The equation of motion, the equation of electrostatics, and the equations of state of the piezoelectric medium have the form of [11]
pouA = tAB,B , dM,M = 0, (1)
tAB = cABCDnCD — eMABeM, dM = ¿MNEN + eMAB vAB ,
where p0 is crystal density in undeformed state; UA dynamic elastic displacements vector; tab thermodynamic stresses tensor; DM electrical induction vector; nCD small deformations tensor; cABCD, eMAB, £VMN elastic, piezoelectric and dielectric constants of the second order. For elastic displacements and electric potential in the form of plane monochromatic waves of small amplitude, the system of equations is written in the form of the well-known Green-Christoffel equation, which must be solved for each layered structure medium used [12].
The considered conditions for an elastic wave propagation in the layered piezostructure in a working orthogonal system of axis, in which X3 axis is directed along the outer normal to the layer surface and Xi axis coincides with the direction of wave propagation, must satisfy the corresponding boundary conditions. The boundary conditions, in particular, for the four-layered
structure "metal/piezoelectric/metal/dielectric substrate" (Fig. 1, a) are: the normal components of stress tensor at the metal/vacuum interface are equal to zero; equality of the normal components of a stress tensor at the metal/piezoelectric interface, the equality of displacement vectors and zero wave potential [13]:

T (1) T3j X3 =di = 0,
T (1) T3j = T (2) = T3j X3 = h = 0| X3= h, U(1) = U (2) X3=h
T(2) T3j = T(3) = T3j X3 = d2 = 0| X3= | d2 , U(2) = U(3) X3=d2
T(3) T3j = T(4) = T3j X3 = 0 ' U(3) = U(4) X3 =0
Here di, d2 and h are the thicknesses value of the upper and lower metal layer and piezoelectric layer thickness. In the present paper, it is assumed that di = d2, i.e. metal layers thicknesses are equal. The equality of the boundary conditions determinant matrix (2), which size in this case is 24x24 to zero, makes it possible to determine elastic wave characteristics.

where the superscript n corresponds to the number of partial waves in the corresponding crystalline layer. Boundary conditions variations (2) determine all the types of elastic waves propagating in the layered structure. For instance, the first equation in (2) determines the surface Rayleigh wave propagation. The first and last equations describe the elastic wave propagation in a piezoelectric plate. For the considered layered structure Me/ZnO/Me/diamond, the system of boundary condition equations (2) is divided into two independent systems. This is the system of 8x8 equations for SH-modes (Love waves) of an elastic wave and the system of 16x16 equations for Rayleigh modes, which, when used in the layered structure of isotropic metals, the piezoelectric of symmetry group 6mm and a dielectric substrate of the cubic crystal will be written as:

2. Analysis of mass loading influence in a layered structure
Determination of the multilayered resonator mass sensitivity (S) is mainly used from the energy balance condition as a frequency change, i.e. as a displacement in the relative frequency of the resonator normalized to the surface mass density [14,15]
(6)
where v and f are phase velocity and an elastic wave frequency. However, the disadvantage of the equation (6) is that at large values of f frequencies the changes of phase velocity are smoothed in case of increase in the metal layer thickness. Therefore, in the present paper to determine an elastic wave mass sensitivity, the following formula was used:
c _ Av _ v - vmt
*v — — -,
(7)
where vmt is phase velocity of an elastic wave upon application of a thin metal layer that does not deviate the mechanical boundary conditions. Note that as shown by the computer experiment, this condition is fulfilled at a layer thickness of less than 1 nm. Condition (7), as well, levels the piezoelectric effect influence and, therefore, Sv parameter will be independent of the choice of the piezoelectric layer type.

"Me/ZnO/Me/diamond" with the orientation [100] (001) of both the layer and the substrate. Al, Mo and Pt that have different acoustic impedance values Z = pv, which also make it possible to clarify how the layers with the high and low acoustic impedance of a layer influence phase velocity variations of an elastic wave, respectively, were used as metal layers (Me). The acoustic impedances of the layers used correspond as ZAl < ZZnO < Zdiamond < ZMo < ZPt. The material constants values of the materials used for aluminum and molybdenum (Al, Mo) are taken in [10], ZnO in [16] and diamond in [17].The isotropic elastic moduli for the polycrystalline platinum were calculated from the experimental values of the elastic constants [18] in accordance with K.S. Aleksandrov's method [19]:
3K = A1,
(8)
2G = (A2A3A4A5A6)1/5,
where K and G are the bulk moduli of compression and displacement, A1 is the maximum of nondegenerate eigenvalues of the elastic constants symmetrized matrix (3K = C11 + 2C12, 2G = C11 — C12) for isotropic media [20].
Fig. 1. Dispersion dependences of phase velocities on h x f product for the layered structure "Me/ZnO/Me/diamond": a — the layered structure scheme, b — R0 and R\ modes, c — SH-wave L0 and Li modes. The solid lines represent the modes velocities for infinitely thin metal layers, the dashed lines represent the velocities for the metal layers thickness d/h = 0.1
The solid line in Fig. 1 denotes phase velocities for Rayleigh modes of an elastic wave and the modes (SH-modes) of Love wave when the piezoelectric layer is metallized by infinitely thin metal layers that do not violate mechanical boundary conditions. The range of change in phase velocities for the elastic wave modes varies from the value of phase velocity for the diamond shear wave to SAW phase velocity in ZnO (v = 2730 m/s) for Rayleigh modes, i.e. amplitude displacement of an elastic wave occurs mainly in the piezoelectric layer. The range of variations in phase velocities for SH-modes of an elastic wave also varies from the value of phase velocity for diamond shear wave to phase velocity of a transversely polarized bulk shear wave in ZnO (v = 4176.2 m/s).
Calculation of change in the phase velocity modes of an elastic wave was made at the relative ratio of the metal layers thicknesses to the piezoelectric thickness when d/h = 10~4; 5-10~4; 10~3; 5~3; 0.005; 0.01; 0.05; 0.1. The dashed lines in Fig. 1 denote phase velocities of an elastic wave at a relative ratio of the metal layer thickness to the piezoelectric layer d/h = 0.1. In absolute values,
the phase velocities values can be represented when piezoelectric layers thickness is h =10 ¡m and metal layers thickness is d =1 ¡m in the layered structure "Me/ZnO/Me/diamond" with a frequency change from 1 MHz to 1 GHz. The use of metal layers in the layered structure can significantly influence on redistribution of the elastic energy of a wave both as a consequence of the layers acoustic properties and also from the complex interference between the modes of elastic wave that fall and are reflected from the interface between the layers in the structure. In the "Pt/ZnO/Pt/diamond" structure, for instance, as h x f value increases, the phase velocities of Rayleigh modes of an elastic wave tend to the value of SAW phase velocity in Pt metal layer. However, phase velocities for SH-modes (Love waves) of an elastic wave in the similar case tend to the value of phase velocity of a bulk shear wave in Pt metal. A similar situation occurs when used in a multilayered structure with other metals.
Fig. 2. Dispersion dependence of R0 and R1 modes phase velocities on h x f product for the layered structure "Me/AlN/Me /diamond": a, d — aluminum, b, e — molybdenum, c, f — gold. Metal thicknesses d/h: 10~3; 0.005; 0.01; 0.05; 0.1
In Fig. 2 the graphs of relative variations in Sv phase velocities of the fundamental mode R0 and Sezawa wave (Ri mode), depending on the type of metal layer, d/h ratio and hxf parameter are represented. The maximum values of Sv parameter are attained at a value of hxf = 1210 m/s when all types of metal layers are used, which is determined by the interaction (hybridization)
between the fundamental R0 and the first R1 Rayleigh modes of an elastic wave [21]. However, Sv parameter values when using Al or Mo layer are practically identical Sv = 0.41, but for the structure "Pt/ZnO/Pt/diamond" when hxf = 1210m/s and d/h ratio = 0.1, Sv parameter = 0.58. It should be noted that a condition for the "resonant" reflection of the fundamental mode R0 of an elastic wave from the layered structure interface at A/4 (A is the acoustic wave length) also contributes to the variation in Sv phase velocity of an elastic wave, which leads to the local maxima appearance in Sv values (Fig. 2). There are no similar changes in the values of Sv parameter for the first mode of elastic wave R1. The maximum values of Sv parameter for Sezawa wave (mode R1) in the interaction region of the acoustic wave modes when using Al or Mo metal layers are also almost identical Sv = 0.28, but for the structure Pt/ZnO/Pt/diamond" when h x f = 1110 m/s and the ratio of d/h = 0.1 Sv parameter = 0.48. The maximum in Sv parameter values for the first mode R1 is also achieved in the neighborhood of the values h x f = 3400 m/s, where the condition h = A is satisfied, i.e. an elastic wave length is equal to a piezoelectric layer thickness (Fig. 2). An increase in the metal layers thickness leads to a slight displacement of the maximum values of Sv parameter in the direction of decrease in h x f value.
The main feature of propagation for the fundamental Rayleigh mode of an elastic wave in the layered structure "Me/ZnO/Me/diamond" is appearance of negative values of Sv parameter when using metal layers Al or Mo, i.e. the value of an elastic wave phase velocity starts increasing when the metal layer is applied (Fig. 2). For the layered structure "Al/ZnO/Al/diamond", this effect is observed for all the metal layer thicknesses under consideration, but is in direct dependence on both the layer thickness and frequency (h x f ). For example, when d/h ratio = 0.01, negative values of Sv parameter appear when h x f > 3700 m/s, but when d/h ratio = 0.1 from h x f > 2600 m/s. A different situation arises in the layered structure "Mo/ZnO/Mo/diamond". A slight increase in the phase velocity for the Rayleigh mode of an elastic wave occurs for "thin" metal layers (d/h < 0.1) and the absolute values of Sv parameter = 10-4 — 10-6, i.e., the relative change in phase velocity is less than 1 m/s. However, with the metal layer thickness d/h = 0.1 and h x f value = 6150 m/s, Mo layer thickness becomes equal to a quarter of an elastic wave length (d = A/4), which leads to resonant reflection and an increase in Sv parameter in the negative range of values (Fig. 2, b). It should be noted that in the layered structure "Pt/ZnO/Pt/diamond" there are no negative values of Sv parameter due to the high value of elastic wave acoustic impedance.
Fig. 3 shows graphs of the relative change in Sv phase velocities of the fundamental mode (SH0) and the first mode (SH1) of Love wave, depending on the type of metal layer and the ratio of d/h and h x f parameter.
The maximum values of Sv parameter for SH0 mode are reached at h x f value = 710 m/s when all types of metal layers are used. When using Al or Mo layer, the values of Sv parameter = 0.24 and Sv = 0.26, respectively. But for the structure "Pt/ZnO/Pt/diamond" Sv parameter = 0.45 and d/h ratio = 0.1. It should be noted that increase in the metal layer thickness leads to the signal frequency displacement when the maximum values of Sv parameter are reached. This increase in Sv values is particularly significant for the metals with a high acoustic impedance value for the fundamental mode SH0 of an elastic wave. However, the numerical Sv values differ significantly depending on the type of metal. For instance, in the structure "Al/ZnO/Al/diamond" Sv = 0.11, but in the structure "Pt/ZnO/Pt/diamond" Sv = 0.55 when h x f = 8500 m/s.
The maximum values of Sv parameter for SH1 mode of elastic Love wave are attained when h x f = 2100 m/s, where the condition of h = A/4 is satisfied, i.e. the piezoelectric layer thickness

is equal to a quarter of an elastic wave length (Fig. 3). However, unlike the fundamental SH0 mode, for the first SHi mode of Love wave with an increase of h x f the values of Sv parameter decrease with the use of Al or Mo metal layers. For the structure "Pt/ZnO/Pt/diamond" with a ratio of d/h > 0.05, the values of the Sv parameter increase sharply.
When creating acoustoelectronic devices it is desirable to represent the nature of elastic wave characteristics dependence on the additional layers properties. Fig. 4 shows the dependence of Sv parameter on d/h value for the fundamental and the first modes of an elastic wave. For the fundamental Rayleigh mode R0 of an elastic wave when using aluminum and molybdenum, the sensitivity dependence of Sv on d/h is linear Sv = 0.84 • d/h, Sv = 0.9 • d/h, respectively. However, when the platinum layer is used, a clearly quadratic dependence is observed: Sv =
— 11 • (d/h)2 + 3.9 • d/h. For Sezawa wave, R1 mode of an elastic wave, a similar situation is observed; i.e. also the quadratic dependence of Sv parameter on d/h when using the platinum layer is Sv = —25.4 • (d/h)2 + 5.6 • d/h and linear dependence with the use of other metals (Fig. 4). It should be noted that similar dependence can be traced on the entire frequency range considered. However, in the negative values region of Sv parameter for the structure
"Al/ZnO/Al/diamond" the linear dependence Sv = —0.42 • d/h is retained, but for the structure "Mo/ZnO/Mo/diamond" it is the clear quadratic dependence Sv = —13.9 • (d/h)2 + 1.2 • d/h, when h x f = 8300 m/s. In the case of elastic Love waves (SH-wave), a linear dependence is observed only for the structure "Al/ZnO/Al/diamond". For example, for the fundamental SH0 mode and the first mode SH1 of Love wave, the dependence of Sv on d/h value is approximated by the expression Sv = 2.2 • d/h, Sv = 0.94 • d/h, respectively. However, already for the structure "Mo/ZnO/Mo/diamond" a quadratic dependence Sv = —9.3 • (d/h)2 + 3.2 • d/h is observed for the fundamental mode SH0 when h x f = 710 m/s and Sv = —6.4• (d/h)2 + 1.6• d/h for SH1 mode when h x f = 3410 m/s. When using metal layers of platinum, a clearly quadratic dependence presents (Fig. 4). It should be noted that similar dependences of Sv parameter are traced on the entire frequency range considered. Thus, in the multilayer structure "Me/ZnO/Me/diamond", the dependence of Sv sensitivity is directly dependent on the value of the metal layer acoustic impedance.
Fig. 4. Graphs of Sv relationship dependence on the metal thickness, a - R0 mode when h x f = 710 m/s, R1 mode when h x f = 3410 m/s; b - SH0 mode when h x f = 710 m/s, SH1 mode when hxf = 3410 m/s
It is important to understand how the upper or lower metal layer affects the phase velocity variations in the piezoelectric structure of "Me/ZnO/Me/diamond" type. For the case of a geometrically asymmetric multilayered structure, when the metal layers thicknesses are different, or the types of electrode materials are different, the values of Sv parameter will be different. Fig. 5 shows the dispersion dependences for the fundamental Rayleigh mode R0 of an elastic wave in the structures "Me/ZnO/diamond" and "ZnO/Me/diamond". In the structure "Me/ZnO/diamond", the character of Sv sensitivity behavior for various metals is qualitatively similar to the structure of "Me/ZnO/Me/diamond" , it differs mainly numerically. In particular, when h x f value = 1210 m/s and d/h = 0.1, Sv parameter = 0.14 for Al and Sv = 0.34 and Sv = 0.53 for Mo and Pt respectively. The character of Sv parameter behavior in the structure "ZnO/Me/diamond" differs significantly. First, when using metals Mo and Pt, Sv sensitivity values are much less: Sv = 0.12 and Sv = 0.2 respectively, for the same values h x f values = 1210 m/s and d/h = 0.1. However, when using Al, the situation is opposite, Sv sensitivity values increase Sv = 0.4 (Fig. 5). Also, for h x f values > 5000 m/s, Sv parameter values are
less than 10 4 for all the types of metal layers considered, i.e. the lower metal layer thickness has practically no effect on the phase velocity change in the structure "ZnO/Me/diamond".

Fig. 6 shows dispersion dependences of the fundamental mode SH0 of Love wave in the structures "Me/ZnO/diamond" and "ZnO/Me/diamond". In the structure "Me/ZnO/diamond", Sv parameter behavior for different metals is also qualitatively similar to the structure "Me/ZnO/Me/diamond". However, especially for the structure "Al/ZnO/diamond" , the numerical values of Sv parameter differ significantly. In particular, when h x f value = 710 m/s and d/h = 0.1, the values of Sv parameter = 0.08, but when using Mo metal layer Sv = 0.21. In the structure "ZnO/Me/diamond", the character of Sv parameter dispersion behavior for SH0 mode differs. If when Al metal layers are used at h x f value = 710 m/s and d/h =0.1, Sv parameter = 0.18 for Al, but Sv = 0.06 and Sv = 0.12 for Mo and Pt respectively.
Thus, at high values of the metal layer acoustic impedance, the maximum sensitivity values are achieved in case of the upper metal layer presence, i.e. in the structure "Me/ZnO/diamond", but at low acoustic impedance values in the structure "ZnO/Me/diamond".

Conclusion
Influence of mass loading in the form of two metal layers (upper and lower electrodes) on Av/v phase velocity variations of the elastic wave dispersion modes in the piezoelectric layered structure Me/ZnO/Me/diamond is highly correlated to the metal layer acoustic impedance. Note that the maximum values of the phase velocity variations of Av/v elastic wave modes are reached with "Pt/ZnO/Pt/diamond" layer system configuration. The maximum values of Av/v are also reached if the metal layer thickness multiple of a quarter of an elastic wave length. It should be noted that at low values of the metal layer acoustic impedance, more significant variations in Av/v occur due to a change in the lower electrode thickness. However, if the metal layer acoustic impedance is comparable with the substrate acoustic impedance, the increase in Av/v values, in this case, is mostly determined by the upper metal layer thickness.
The results obtained can be useful in the development of the controlled acoustoelectronic devices based on Rayleigh and Love waves.

В настоящей работе был выполнен анализ влияния массовой нагрузки в виде двух металлических слоев (верхний и нижний электроды) на изменение фазовой скорости дисперсионных мод упругой волны в пьезоэлектрической слоистой структуре "Me/ZnO/Me/алмаз" в зависимости от частоты и отношения толщин металлического слоя к толщине слоя пьезоэлектрического кристалла. В качестве материала металлического слоя 'рассмотрены алюминий (Al), молибден (Mo) и платина (Pt). Продемонстрировано, что изменение фазовой скорости упругой волны зависит от акустического импеданса металлического слоя и его толщины.
Ключевые слова: пьезоэлектрическая слоистая структура, волна Рэлея, волна Лява, массовая нагрузка.
