Dear all,

does anyone know how a deposited film (oxid or metall) influences the
Q-Factor / damping of torsional resonators. Gas damping is investigated in
different publications. I did not find much to friction within composite
beams or a plastic portion within the torsion.
Any idea or reference is highly appreciated.

Best Regards in Advance
