The Coefficient of the Voltage Induced Frequency Shift Measurement on a Quartz Tuning Fork [PDF]
We have measured the coefficient of the voltage induced frequency shift (VIFS) of a 32.768 KHz quartz tuning fork. Three vibration modes were studied: one prong oscillating, two prongs oscillating in the same direction, and two prongs oscillating in ...

Introduction to the quartz tuning fork [PDF]
We discuss various aspects of the quartz tuning fork, ranging from its original purpose as a high quality factor resonator for use as a stable frequency reference, to more exotic applications in sensing and scanning probe microscopy. We show experimentally how to tune the quality factor by injecting energy in phase with the current at resonance ...
