Abstract:Assumption-free mass quantification of (supra)molecular adsorbates in liquid environment remains a key challenge in many branches of science. Mechanical resonators can uniquely determine the mass of essentially any adsorbate; yet, when operating in liquid environment, the liquid dynamically coupled to the adsorbate contributes significantly to the measured response. On the bases of the Navier-Stokes equation for liquid velocity in contact with an oscillating surface, we show that the liquid contribution can be… Show more
