A comparsion of force sensors for atomic force microscopy based on quartz tuning forks and length extensional resonators [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The force sensor is key to the performance of atomic force microscopy (AFM). Nowadays, most AFMs use micro-machined force sensors made from silicon, but piezoelectric quartz sensors are applied at an increasing rate, mainly in vacuum.

A three million Q factor tuning fork resonator based on a vibration isolation structure

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2022
The quality factor (Q factor) is one of the most important parameters for a resonant sensor since it determines the performance of the resonant system. The mass distribution imbalance caused by the fabrication error has a great impact on the anchor loss,

Load capacitance matching for resonant frequency adjusting-based multi-quartz tuning fork-enhanced laser spectroscopic sensing.

open access: yesOptics Express
What we believe to be a novel load capacitance matching method is proposed for adjusting the resonant frequency of a quartz tuning fork (QTF) in a multi-QTF-based laser spectroscopy gas sensor for the first time.

Dual-frequency modulation quartz crystal tuning fork–enhanced laser spectroscopy

open access: yesOptics Express, 2020
An innovative trace gas-sensing technique utilizing a single quartz crystal tuning fork (QCTF) based on a photoelectric detector and dual-frequency modulation technique was demonstrated for the first time for simultaneous multi-species detection. Instead of traditional semiconductor detectors and lock-in amplifier, we utilized the piezoelectric effect ...
