摘要
In nanomechanical mass spectrometry, sensing devices are commonly placed in the vacuum environment and a stream of analytes is directed toward the sensor surface for measurement. Beam structures, such as double-clamped nanobeams and nanocantilevers, are commonly used due to their low inertial mass and the simplicity of the analytical models for mass extraction. The drawback of such structures is their low capture areas, compromising the capture efficiency and throughput of this technique. Bi-axisymmetric resonators, such as ultrathin square or circular membranes, arise as an optimal geometry to maximize capture efficiency while minimizing the device inertial mass. However, these structures present degenerate mechanical modes, whose frequency perturbations upon analyte adsorption are not well described by commonly used models. Furthermore, prior knowledge of the vibration mode shapes of the sensor is crucial for the correct calculation of the analyte's mass, and the mode shape of degenerate modes may change significantly after every adsorption event. In this work, we present an accurate analytical theory to describe the effect of mass adsorption on the degenerate modes of square membrane resonators and propose two different methods based on the new theory to update the vibration mode shapes after every adsorption event. Finally, we illustrate the problem experimentally obtaining the mass and adsorption position of individual K-12 bacterial cells on commercial square silicon nitride membranes fabricated with very small tolerances.
