4. Along certain directions in elastically anisotropic materials, the surface acoustic wave can degenerate into a bulk wave which is not strongly confined to the surface.

8. The metallic catalyst film on the surface of the substrate largely screens the electrical field, but nonetheless it is an added complication.

15. In this case the polycrystalline substrate can be considered elastically isotropic, and the surface acoustic wave excited is a Rayleigh-type wave with the particle displacement polarized in the sagittal plane.
