At the microscale, cantilever vibrations depend not only on the microstructure's properties
and geometry but also on the properties of the surrounding medium. In fact, when a …

This Letter reports on the characterization of the first extensional mode of AlN-actuated mid-
point supported resonant microplates in liquid media. Devices of different dimensions were …

The use of microcantilevers as (bio) chemical sensors usually involves the application of a
chemically sensitive layer. The coated device operates either in a static bending regime or in …

An improved analytical method for directly and rapidly quantifying various monocyclic and
polycyclic aromatic molecules in oil–water mixtures has been developed. This study reports …

Nanomechanical resonators are routinely used for identification of various analytes such as
biological and chemical molecules, viruses, or bacteria cells from the frequency response …

We present a novel MEMS sensor which allows the detection of ferrous particles in liquid
environments. The device is based on a resonantly excited silicon microcantilever with an …

We present a unified model of electrostatic sensors comprising cantilever microbeam
resonators in fluid media. The model couples Euler–Bernoulli beam equation to the …
