Abstract

An acoustic surface wave device is disclosed which comprises a crystal of Tl.sub.3 VS.sub.4, Tl.sub.3 NbS.sub.4, or mixtures thereof having at least one surface at least 1/2 cm long, a surface wave generating transducer mounted on the surface, and a surface wave receiving transducer mounted on the surface positioned to receive a surface wave generated by the surface wave generating transducer. The device transmits surface waves at a low velocity and high coupling efficiency and can be used in a delay line, a filter, an FM discriminator, an oscillator, or other device.
