Magnetic field sensors based on thin-film surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology are widely utilized in Collaborative Research Center 1261 "Biomagnetic Sensing". The use of Aluminium-Scandium-Nitride (AlScN) as the piezoelectric material allows for significant improvements in device sensitivity.
To investigate the microstructure of AlScN during the excitation of acoustic modes, an in operando setup was developed for high-resolution X-ray diffraction (XRD). This setup induces standing waves and allows the observation of diffraction patterns. A comparison of grazing-incidence diffraction (GID) of the [0 1 3] Bragg reflection between the stationary and operating state shows a shift in the signal peak position. Additional experiments are planned, along with the development of a new setup for time-resolved experiments. These efforts aim to enhance the understanding of SAW propagation in these materials.
