  Mass Spectrometry 2017: High frequency nano-optomechanical disk resonators in liquids - Eduardo Gil Santos - University of Paris
  Author(s): Eduardo Gil Santos
  
  Vibrating nano and micromechanical structures have been the subject of extensive research for the development of ultrasensitive mass sensors for spectrometry, chemical sensing and biomedical analysis. In short, the minimum detectable mass is proportional to the effective mass of the resonator and sensitivity improves if mechanical dissipation is reduced. Device miniaturization and dissipation control are therefore crucial. In liquids, the energy losses are high and therefore the mass sensitivity is usually diminished dramatically. To circumvent this problem, novel structures are proposed, like micro-channels or micro-capillars where the liquid flows d.. View More»
