Abstract:
If a quartz-resonator plate, excited to the thickness-shear vibration, is coated with a film of foreign material, the natural frequency of the plate will change because of the increased mass now oscillating. Since the frequency changes of a quartz resonator can be measured very accurately, this offers a very accurate method for weighing thin films.
