Experimental Study on Tertiary Piezoelectric Effect of X-Cut Quartz Crystal

Abstract:

This Paper has analyzed the relationship between the generation of multiple piezoelectric effects and boundary conditions of piezoelectrics and the experiments have studied tertiary piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric quartz which is applied extensively in engineering practice. We processed our experiment by piezoelectric quartz crystal unit made by two pieces of X-cut piezoelectric quartz, parallel connected it to a capacitor with the equivalent capacitance of about 1,000 times of that of piezoelectric quartz crystal unit and then got the result of pure primary piezoelectric effect excluding tertiary induced effect; then compared it with conventional primary piezoelectric effect and concluded that tertiary piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric quartz is about 1.7% of primary piezoelectric effect; thus quantified longitudinally tertiary piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric quartz crystal, concluded that piezoelectric coefficient of tertiary effect of X-cut piezoelectric quartz is about 0.04 pC/N by experiment and got relative uncertainty and standard uncertainty of the results by such experiment methods respectively as 9.49×10^-3 and 1.37×10^-2. This study on tertiary piezoelectric effect has provided a new approach for improving precision and sensitivity of piezoelectric sensors.
