Abstrakt: Recently, one has been observing abundant studies on the application of surface acoustic waves (SAWs) in solid substrates for manipulating liquids and particulates in micron-to-nanometer thick films and channels and in porous media. At these length scales, contributions of SAWs to the electrical double layer (EDL) of ions and of the latter to particulates and flow may become appreciable. However, the nature of the interplay between SAWs and EDLs is unknown. We demonstrate the contribution of a SAW to the near-equilibrium electrical and ion-concentration fields in an EDL near inert and piezoelectric substrates. In particular, we concentrate on the leakage of transient and steady components of electrical potential through the excited EDL. Far from the solid, the leakage may be interpreted by different models of the EDL to give information about the EDL characteristic relaxation time, ζ-potential, and the Stern layer therein. In addition, the analysis given here may explain observed SAW-induced electrochemical effects on piezoelectric substrates.
