Non-reciprocal acoustoelectric amplifiers for very high frequency sound waves

In recent years, teams of engineers worldwide have been trying to develop acoustic devices based on piezoelectrics (i.e., materials that can produce electricity when mechanical stress is applied to them) integrated with conventional semiconductors. These devices could achieve acoustoelectric effects that could potentially help to improve the performance and reduce the size of radio-frequency electronics.
