Abstract:Capability of piezoelectric microcantilever mass sensors to detect very small amount of mass, such as detection of a single virus has attracted many researchers' interests. In many cases, detection of mass is performed by adsorbing of materials in porous matrixes on the sensor surface, in which the adsorbed material does not form a solid layer on the cantilever surface. On the other hand, there are materials such as gold and mercury that constitute a solid layer on cantilever surface. The thickness and the you… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
