Torsional and Lateral Resonant Modes of Cantilevers as Biosensors: Alternatives to Bending ModesClick to copy article linkArticle link copied!
Abstract
We show here novel cantilever designs that express torsional and lateral modes exhibit excellent mass-change sensitivity to molecular self-assembly on gold (75–135 fg/Hz) which is superior to that of widely investigated bending modes. Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) millimeter-sized cantilevers were designed with two types of anchor asymmetry that induced expression of either torsional or lateral modes in the 0–80 kHz frequency range. Experiments and supporting calculations show that anchor asymmetry enables resonant mode impedance-coupling. The sensitive torsional and lateral modes enabled measurement of self-assembled monolayer formation rate at picomolar levels. The anchor design principle was extended to microcantilevers via finite element simulations, which caused both 97% sensitivity improvement relative to conventional designs, as well as new nonclassical resonant mode shapes.
