Abstract :
In this work, Langasite LFE devices on both modes are designed and fabricated. The sensitivities of the devices to liquid electrical property (conductivity, permittivity) changes were tested and compared. The experimental results showed that compared to langasite pure-LFE devices, langasite pseudo-LFE devices have superior sensitivities to both liquid conductivity changes and liquid permittivity changes.
