Abstract
In this Note, a novel sensitivity multiplication module was added to classical quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). The purpose is to increase QCM frequency shift without changing nominal frequency of the quartz crystal resonator or nominal frequency value delivered to the frequency counter. Allan deviance measurement confirms that the multiplication of the frequency shift is limited by the quartz crystal loads with direct effect in quartz crystal quality factor and oscillator stability. An experimental implementation of this new sensitivity multiplication module that can increase up to six times the frequency shift of the QCM was experimentally investigated using different load conditions.
