Enhanced sensitivity and quality factor of microcantilever (MC)-based mass sensors when
working at higher modes and reducing the dimensions are compared. By analysing the out …

Ensuring desirable performance for piezoelectric microcantilever sensors constitutes a
crucial research subject particularly for the applications such as detection of biochemical …

This article describes two approaches for sensitivity improvement of a micromachined silicon
T-shaped cantilever resonator for mass sensing applications. In order to increase sensitivity …

Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the simplicity and versatility of micro‐
cantilever based sensors and to present the influence of added mass and stress on the …

We present a method to detect, with enhanced sensitivity, a target mass particle attached
eccentrically to a microcantilever by measuring multiple three-dimensional modes in the …

Micro-and nanocantilevers are increasingly employed as mass sensors. Most studies
consider the first flexural mode and adsorbed masses that are either discretely attached or …

Microcantilever has been increasingly used as microsensor thanks to its fast response, low
cost and parallel implementation in large quantity. The principle of sensing lies in the …

The resonance frequency and the Q-factor of the fundamental and higher order flexural
modes of silicon dioxide microcantilevers have been characterized at different pressures …

Mass sensing using micromechanical cantilever oscillators has been established as a
promising approach. The scientific principle underpinning this technique is the shift in the …

Mass sensors based on the eigenmode shift of coupled cantilevers achieve much higher
sensitivity than those based on the single cantilever's eigenfrequency shift. In the former …
