Piezo-electric Resonator of Ethylene Diamine Tartrate with Zero Temperature Coefficient of Frequency

Abstract

IF thin square plates of ethylene diamine tartrate have two sides parallel to the Y-axis, the axis of two-fold symmetry, so that the normal to the plate is in the XZ-plane, then there are two values of the angle θ between the normal and the X-axis which lead to zero temperature coefficient of the frequency of the contour shear mode. (The angle θ is measured from the positive direction of the X-axis towards the negative direction of the Z-axis.)
