Thermoelastic coefficients of alpha quartz.
Experimental measurements of alpha quartz thermal expansion as reported in the literature have been critically analyzed. A recommended set of best measured values over the temperature range -50 degrees C to +150 degrees C have been determined, as have values for the coefficient of thermal linear expansion (CTE) and the thermoelastic coefficients. The impact of using the coefficients on determinations of quartz material temperature coefficients and on the calculation of temperature coefficients of frequency for the case of the AT-cut is discussed.
