A new applet for the Surface-Stress calculation is now available. We have revisited Stoney's equation and we have derived an analytical expressions for the accurate quantification of the surface stress in clamped beams (such as cantilevers). Accurate surface stress quatification is relevant to attain quantitative measurements of biomolecule concentrations, to correctly substract reference signals to…
In the biomedical field, end-point detection bioassays such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) are essential tools because of their simplicity, high-throughput, and suitability for their use at the point-of-care. End-point bioassays are significantly constrained by the need of sample labeling with fluorescent or colorimetric tags for subsequent detection. A promising strategy to overcome these limitations…
There is a need for noninvasive techniques for simultaneous imaging of the stress and vibration mode shapes of nanomechanical systems in the fields of scanning probe microscopy, nanomechanical biological and chemical sensors and the semiconductor industry. Here we show a novel technique that combines a scanning laser, the beam detection method and digital multifrequency excitation…
