Description
The piezoaxionic effect enables the conversion of axion-induced spin-dependent forces in polarized nuclei into measurable voltages in piezoelectric crystals. We propose a heterodyne detection scheme in which controlled nuclear spin precession mixes the axion oscillation frequency with the nuclear Larmor frequency. This generates sideband signals at shifted frequencies, allowing efficient scanning of axion masses through the applied magnetic field. This approach provides a tunable and noise-resilient strategy to probe QCD axion dark matter in the MHz–GHz range.
