Acoustic Loss and Frequency Offset Measurements on 5 MHz Quartz Resonators.
Abstract
Acoustic loss and frequency offset measurements are reported for several types of synthetic quartz resonators operating at 5 MHz in an attempt to answer several questions concerning the failure of swept electronic grade quartz to be radiation resistant. The loss was recorded from the temperature of liquid helium to 400K. The offset of the resonant frequency with electron irradiation was measured up to a dose of 1 MRad. Irradiations were performed, for the most part, with the resonator in an oven at 55C, but one resonator was irradiated in a dewar at 17K. The results indicate the swept electronic grade resonators of recent manufacture are radiation resistant. (Author)
