QUARTZ CRYSTAL CONTROLLED OSCILLATORS

Abstract

A method of obtaining x-ray diffraction topographs from quartz crystals is described. Geometric and inherent limitations of the technique are presented, as well as some of the mechanical design. The results of studies of natural and synthetic quartz are also given. The use of the technique as a possible method for the study of vibration modes in crystalline quartz is also explored. A cleaning station designed specifically for the processing of quartz plates and enclosures is discussed. The station incorporates the latest cleaning procedures for obtaining and maintaining surfaces chemically clean to less than 0.1 monolayers of hydrophobic contamination. (Author)
