Abstract

We study the dynamic response of a mechanical quartz tuning fork in thetemperature range from 9 K to 300 K. Since the quality factor Q of theresonance strongly depends on temperature, we implement a procedure tocontrol the quality factor of the resonance. We show that we are able todynamically change the quality factor and keep it constant over thewhole temperature range. This procedure is suitable for applications inscanning probe microscopy.
