Development of an Electronic Circuit for a Quartz Crystal Microbalance
Summary
Thesis on building a lower-cost QCM in Brazil for research, starting from the openQCM design. The circuit was designed and simulated in LTspice and EasyEDA, read through an Arduino UNO and displayed with the openQCM Wi2 software, and it worked well in tests with water, a starch solution and a cast crystal violet film, as an affordable option for university labs.
