The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Heating inherently generates mechanical stress through thermal expansion, which in turn produces measurable electrical signals via electromechanical coupling; the on-chip device probes the anisotropy of the piezoelectric tensor through the thermally generated current, exhibiting twofold and threefold responses for X-cut and Z-cut crystals respectively.

C2weakest assumption

The observed electrical signals arise primarily from piezoelectric response to thermally generated stress rather than from direct thermoelectric, pyroelectric, or contact-related effects, and that the device geometry isolates the thermomechanical contribution without significant artifacts.

C3one line summary

Heating quartz on-chip produces anisotropic electrical currents from thermally induced stress via piezoelectric coupling, showing twofold symmetry in X-cut and threefold in Z-cut crystals, detectable in both current and voltage modes.
