This paper presents a comparison of frequency pullability in oscillators using asingle AT-cut crystal and those using two single AT-cut crystals connected in paralleloperated with a series load capacitance or series load inductance at fundamental fre...
This paper presents ways of inductance sensitivity improvement in a quartz crystal converter for low inductance measurement. To improve the converter’s sensitivity, two quartz crystals that were connected in parallel and additional capacitance...
In this study, two novel Lu5Pd4Ge8 and Lu3Pd4Ge4 polar intermetallics were prepared by direct synthesis of pure constituents. Their crystal structures were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis: Lu5Pd4Ge8 is monoclinic, P21/m, mP34,...
Several previous studies have been dedicated to incorporating double defect modes of a phononic crystal (PnC) into piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH) systems to broaden the bandwidth. However, these prior studies are limited to examining an identi...
