نویسندگان
چکیده
The frequency response of quartz crystal microbalance loaded by single-drop liquid is studied in this paper. Previous studies have shown that the relationship between resonant frequency and properties of liquid by completely immersing one side of the crystal in liquid. In this work, only localized portion of crystal was wetted by liquid droplet. Repeated experiment shows the relationship between liquid property include viscosity and density to resonant frequency. Furthermore, Theoretical formula describing the frequency change of the quartz crystal microbalance with liquid property is proposed. The predicted results showed distinct coincide with experimental results.

Liquid- and Gas-Phase Diffusion of Ferrocene in Thin Films of Metal-Organic Frameworks
The mass transfer of the guest molecules in nanoporous host materials, in particular in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), is among the crucial features of their applications. By using thin surface-mounted MOF films in combination with a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), the diffusion of ferrocene vapor and of ethanolic and hexanic ferrocene solution in HKUST-1 was investigated. For the first ti...

A novel signal amplification strategy for quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) based on catalytic gas generation was developed to construct an ultrasensitive immunosensor for the detection of proteins (immunoglobulin G, IgG, used as a model). A catalase modified immunoparticle was prepared to form a sandwich-type immunocomplex with the IgG and anti-IgG antibodies that were immobilized on the QCM s...

An ultra-sensitive gas phase biosensor/tracer/bio-sniffer is an emerging technology platform designed to provide real-time information on air-borne analytes, or those in liquids, through classical headspace analysis. The desired bio-sniffer measures gaseous 17α- ethinylestradiol (ETED) as frequency changes on a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), which is a result of the interactions of liquid s...
متن کاملSurface roughness and interfacial slip boundary condition for quartz crystal microbalances
The response of a quartz crystal microbalance ~QCM! is considered using a wave equation for the substrate and the Navier-Stokes equations for a finite liquid layer under a slip boundary condition. It is shown that when the slip length to shear wave penetration depth is small, the first-order effect of slip is only present in the frequency response. Importantly, in this approximation the frequen...
