Photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS), which relies on the detection of absorption-induced
acoustic waves, is widely used for gas sensing. This paper summarizes and discusses most …

Much of our understanding of the atomic-scale magnetic structure and the dynamical
properties of solids and liquids was gained from neutron-scattering studies. Elastic and …

We have calculated the thermal noise of a v-shaped AFM cantilever (Microlever, Type E,
Thermomicroscopes) by means of a finite element analysis. The modal shapes of the first 10 …

Introduction of a new type of pressure sensor has been shown to improve orders of
magnitude the sensitivity of a photoacoustic measurement system using a black body …

Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) encompasses a family of techniques that measures
surface topography and surface properties on the atomic scale. The number of papers …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major public health threat, reducing treatment options for
infected patients. AMR is promoted by a lack of access to rapid antibiotic susceptibility tests …

A working model has been developed which can be used to significantly increase the
accuracy of cantilever deflection measurements using optical beam techniques (used in …

In atomic force microscopy, cantilevers with a reflective coating are often used to reduce
optical shot noise for deflection detection. However, static AFM experiments can be limited …

In this paper, a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) cantilever sensor was designed,
modeled and fabricated to measure the terahertz (THz) radiation induced photoacoustic …

Having reached the quantum and thermodynamic limits of detection, atomic force
microscopy (AFM) experiments are routinely being performed at the fundamental limit of …
