Quartz crystal oscillator is frequently used in measuring a very small amount of mass attached to or adsorbed on the surface of an electrode on the quartz plate. The physical principle is that the resonance frequency of the shear vibration of the quartz caused by an applied electric field is a function of the mass. Recently, effort has been tried to measure physical properties of viscoelastic fluids, such as viscosity and shear modulus. This paper presents useful formula that can be used in estimating the properties of viscoelastic fluids. Important finding in this analysis is that the formula can produce multiple values for the physical properties of the viscoelastic materials.

A new oscillator for electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) was developed by using an operational amplifier without any LC component. The home-made EQCM using this oscillator showed only 0.02 Hz frequency noise at 0.3 s gate time when a 6 MHz AT-cut crystal was used. Pb underpotential deposition on gold substrate in nitric acid media was examined to demonstrate the performance of this EQCM. The derivative of frequency change could be obtained without averaging multiple scans.

This paper reports design and fabrication of CMOS temperature sensor circuit using MOSIS 0.25um CMOS technology. The proposed circuit has a temperature coefficient of $13mV/^{\circ}C$ for a wide operating temperature range with a good linearity. This circuit may be applicable to the design of one-chip IC where quartz crystal resonator is directly mounted on CMOS oscillator chips.

Top of the alumina body which is made according to plan has been printed using a screen printer equipment in order to print an electrode pattern. The electrode is connected with the quartz crystal oscillator of the piezoelectricity method which has a piezoelectric characteristic. The pressure contact department has been experimented using three type of the teflon. The teflon is good for pressure delivery vector but it is bad restitution. So we devised the structure which inserts the metal in the teflon. Bottom of the module is connected with the signal processing department which is planned in advance and then has investigated to characteristic. Therefore we have got the best output-voltage and frequency characteristic follows in the pressure.

근접장광학계 (Near-Field Scanning Optical Microscope :NSOM)의 표본과 팁의 거리 유지를 위해 소리굽쇠모양의 수정발진자 (tuning forktype quartz crystal unit)의 한쪽 다리에 광섬유를 고정시키고 광섬유 팁을 수정발진자와 같이 진동하게 만들어 사용하였다. 수정 진동자는 광섬유 팁이 시료에 얼마나 가까이 갔느냐에 따라 진폭이 바뀌게 되고 이 변화를 일반적인 방법인 레이저 빛에 의하여 읽어내는 것이 아니라 바로 수정 발진자의 임피던스 변화에 따른 전압 변화를 측정하여 알아냈다. 팁이 표면에 접근함에 따라 수정발진자 진동폭의 변화와 팁을 통해 들어오는 빛의 세기 변화 등을 측정하여 계의 감도를 조사하였다.

In this study, we investigate the optical characteristics of merocyanine dye Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) film using the oscillation characteristics of quartz crystal. As results, the resistance and frequency shift at the parallel resonance under the UV irradiation is to be going down. This behaviour of resistance and frequency is different from the case of general mass adsorption into the organic film on the quartz crystal. Generally the frequency decrease of quartz crystal oscillator, which has been considered as mass loading, goes along with the resistance increase. Thus it has been suggested that the J-aggregate dissociation in merocyanine dye LB film by UV irradiation give rise to transformation of oscillation characteristics of quartz crystal.

A possibility of the implementation of a quartz crystal sensor to the determination of chemical oxygen demand is examined by checking the electrochemical behavior of the sensor in a glucose solution. Since the surface of a quartz crystal has to be oxidized, a relatively active metal is coated on the surface of a usual 9 MHz AT-cut crystal. The electrochemical behavior is investigated by measuring the changes of current, resonant frequency and resonant resistance while a constant potential is applied. The crystal is installed in a specially designed container, and a quartz crystal analyzer is utilized to measure the frequency and resistance simultaneously. The variations of the measurements are examined at different concentrations of glucose solution, and a proper relation between the concentrations of glucose solution, and a proper relation between the concentration and the measurements is analyzed. As a result, it is found that a linear relation between the concentration of less than 900 ppm and the peak current when a constant potential of -180 mV (SSCE) is applied. The relation can be utilized for the determination of glucose concentration in sea water, and considering a direct relation between gluose concentration and chemical oxygen demand tells a possibility of the measurement of chemical oxygen demand using quartz crystal oscillators.

So far, the design methods of quartz crystal resonator have been developed. Recently, as the electronic package and semiconductor modules become smaller, the need to minimize the sizes of crystal components grows larger. but Minimizing crystal plate sizes has limitations because its temperature-frequency characteristics is worse and unwanted resonances occur. so appropriate design of electrode size and crystal plates is necessary. In this palter, Two-dimensional governing equations for electroded piezoelectric crystal plates with general symmetry have been solved from deduced equations from three-dimensional equations of linear piezoelectricity in most cases. In practice, electroded piezoelectric crystal plates have three-dimensional geometry, so simplified 2-dimensional equations and 2-D modeling are insufficient for explaining its resonance modes and characteristics. So, three-dimensional FEM(finite element method) analysis is done and its effectiveness is verified from analyzing practical crystal resonator model.

Oil spill in sea water is the most frequent and significant problem of marine pollution. As an early detection sensor of the pollution, an activated carbon coated quartz crystal is prepared and examined for its performance of detection sensitivity and stability. Powdered activated carbon and phenol resin is coated on the surface of the sensor and the sensor is baked for an hour. Adsorption of acetone dissolved in water and salt water is measured using frequency shift of quartz crystal at different concentrations of solute material. The outcome indicates that the sensor preparation is adequate and the measurement of solute concentration is stable and sensitive enough to be implemented on the monitoring of solute concentration is stable and sensitive enough to be implemented in the monitoring of organic pollution of sea water.
