| QUARTZ CRYSTALS |
| Quartz, composed of Silicon and Oxygen (Silicon Dioxide), exhibits piezoelectric properties. This generates an electrical potential when a pressure is applied on the surfaces of the crystal. Inversely, when an electrical potential is applied to the surfaces of a crystal, mechanical deformation or vibration is generated. These vibrations occur at a frequency determined by the crystal design and oscillator circuit. |
