Abstract
We report highly accurate measurements of the vibrational amplitude of a transverse shear mode quartz resonator, obtained by directly imaging the surface oscillatory motion with a scanning tunneling microscope. Amplitude measurements, performed over a range of resonator drive levels and quality factors, agree with theoretical predictions to within a factor of two.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
