The non-classical linear governing equations of strain gradient piezoelectricity with micro-inertia effect are used to investigate Love wave propagation in a layered piezoelectric structure. The influence of flexoelectricity and micro-inertia effect on the phase wave velocity in a thin homogeneous flexoelectric layer deposited on a piezoelectric substrate is investigated. The dispersion relation for Love waves is obtained. The phase velocity is numerically calculated and graphically illustrated for the electric open-circuit and short-circuit conditions and for distinct material properties of the layer and substrate. The influence of direct flexoelectricity, micro-inertia effect, as well as the layer thickness on Love wave propagation is studied individually. It is found that flexoelectricity increases the Love-wave phase velocity, while the micro-inertia effect reduces its value. These effects become more significant for Love waves with shorter wavelengths and small guiding layer thicknesses.

This paper summarizes several attractive surface acoustic wave (SAW) biosensors, including Love-wave sensors, dual-channel SAW sensors, langasite SAW sensors, and SAW syringe filters. SAW sensors with different piezoelectric materials and high-frequency SAW sensors used for identifying the food pathogenic bacteria () are discussed together with the examples of methods based on such sensing technology that have been effectively utilized in diagnostics and epidemiological research. This review also emphasizes some of the limitations of using these biosensors, which have prompted the increased need for more rapid, sensitive, selective, portable, power-efficient, and low-cost methods for detecting these pathogens.

The Spaceborne Global Lightning Location Network (SGLLN) serves the purpose of identifying transient lightning events occurring beneath the ionosphere, playing a significant role in detecting and warning of disaster weather events. To ensure the effective functioning of the wideband electromagnetic pulse detector, which is a crucial component of the SGLLN, it must be tested and verified with specific signals. However, the inherent randomness and unpredictability of lightning occurrences pose challenges to this requirement.
