Abstract
An acoustic shear surface wave can be guided by the interface of two semi‐infinite media in contact if one, at least, of these two media is piezoelectric. After a study of the surface‐wave characteristics, the existence conditions are stated. For example, such a wave can propagate along the interface of two identical crystals, in class 6 mm, when the C axes of these crystals, both parallel to the interface and perpendicular to the propagation direction, are in opposite directions.Keywords
