1. Vibration Modes and Orientation Angles
Regarding the vibration mode of the AT and BT cut, the orientation angle at which the primary coefficient of the frequency temperature characteristics near room temperature reaches zero is indicated in Fig.1
Fig.1 Orientation angle in Z plate artificial crystals
And the mode of thickness shear vibration is shown virtually in Fig.2
Fig.2 Thickness shear vibration
Regarding generally used AT and BT cut crystals, their frequency ranges and frequency coefficients (the relationship between the thickness of crystal plate and oscillation frequency) are shown in Table 1.

2. Frequency-temperature characteristics
The frequency-temperature characteristics of a crystal are categorized into two types according to its shape of curve. One is a tertiary curve and the other is a quadratic curve. The typical frequency-temperature characteristics of AT and BT cuts are shown in Fig.3 and Fig.4, respectively. AT cut crystal units are most widely used because they produce smaller frequency changes in response to temperature changes in the room temperature range.
