On the exploitation of mode localization in surface acoustic wave MEMS for sensing applications

Mode localization refers to the spatial trapping of energy in a coupled oscillatory system that occurs when a disorder is introduced into a previously ordered system. This thesis explores the exploitation of this phenomenon in surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices for sensing applications. The sensing...
