Optimal electrode shape and size of a few singly rotated quartz and langasite resonators
Abstract:
Based on Mindlin's early work, we calculate and plot optimal electrode shape and size of Y-cut quartz, At-cut quartz, and Y-cut langasite plate thickness-shear resonators. The electrodes obtained are optimal in that they satisfy Bechmann's number in every direction. The results are useful in the design optimization of these resonators.

01:17Design Example: Underdamped Parallel RLC Circuit
Consider designing an oscillator circuit, a crucial component in various electronic devices and systems. The objective is to create an oscillator circuit with specific characteristics: a damped natural frequency of 4 kHz and a damping factor of 4 radians per second. To accomplish this, a parallel RLC circuit is employed, known for its ability to sustain oscillations at a resonant frequency. In this case, the damping factor is pivotal in achieving the desired performance.

02:42Ionic Crystal Structures
Ionic crystals consist of two or more different kinds of ions that usually have different sizes. The packing of these ions into a crystal structure is more complex than the packing of metal atoms that are the same size.
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
