Figure 4

Sketch of a quartz crystal resonator: (a) schematic depiction of a quartz disk with deposited electrodes; (b) side view of the resonator; shear deformation produced by the electric field. This type of acoustic sensor operates in a BAW mode, when acoustic shear waves propagate in the direction normal to the quartz plane.
