Abstract

The probe technique of I. Koga and H. Fukuyo (1953) has been used to explore the nature of surface vibrations on unelectroded parts of AT-cut (natural) lapped and etched quartz crystals of dimensions 38×28×0.8 mm³, the length of the crystals having electrodes of two shapes (rectangular and circular) and dimensions (13×10 mm² and 1.2 cm diameter respectively). The effectiveness of the energy trapping apparently place in such crystals (vibrating in the fundamental mode) has been investigated, and the existence of an asymmetrically located dormant line on the quartz crystal resulting from change of phase of vibrations has been detected
