Photo-Induced Force Microscopy by Using Quartz Tuning-Fork Sensor [PDF]
We present the photo-induced force microscopy (PiFM) studies of various nano-materials by implementing a quartz tuning fork (QTF), a self-sensing sensor that does not require complex optics to detect the motion of a force probe and thus helps to ...

Driveless Gyroscope Response of a Quartz Piezoelectric Vibratory Tuning Fork [PDF]
In this paper, we report on the observation of a gyroscope response in the absence of drive oscillator circuitry in a single ended quartz piezoelectric tuning fork. The tuning fork gyroscope was fabricated by conventional photolithography and wet etching
