Basics of a Quartz Crystal Microbalance Introduction The AT-cut has gained the most use in QCM applications due to its low temperature This document provides an introduction to the coefficient at room temperature. This means quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) which is an that small changes in temperature only result in instrument that allows a user to monitor small small changes in frequency. It has a vibrational mass changes on an electrode. The reader is mode of thickness shear deformation as shown directed to the numerous reviews1 and book 2 below in Figure 1. chapters for a more in-depth description concerning the theory and application of the QCM. A basic understanding of electrical components and concepts is assumed. The two major points of this document are: • Explanation of the Piezoelectric Effect • Equivalent Circuit Models Quartz Crystal– No Applied Potential Explanation of the Piezoelectric Effect The application of a mechanical strain to certain types of materials (mostly crystals) results in the ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ generation of an electrical potential across that material. Conversely, the application of a potential to the same material results in a mechanical strain – a deformation. Removal of - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - the potential allows the crystal to restore to its original orientation. The igniters
