Why Do Tuning Fork Crystals Have a Negative Parabolic Temperature Coefficient?

Click For Summary
Tuning fork crystals exhibit a negative parabolic temperature coefficient due to a combination of factors including the material properties, the specific crystal cut, and the mounting technique. The unique characteristics of the crystal structure influence how temperature variations affect frequency stability. Understanding the physics behind this phenomenon is essential for optimizing crystal performance in various applications. The provided link offers further insights into the topic. The discussion emphasizes the importance of these elements in determining the temperature coefficient behavior of tuning fork crystals.

I would like to understand the reason that tuning fork crystals have the negative parabolic temperature coefficient shape. Is it the material, the crystal cut or how its mounted. What is the physics behind that.

Thank you

Thread 'What mathematics software should engineering students use?'

What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
