Effect of surface stress on microcantilever resonance frequency during water adsorption: influence of microcantilever dimensions.

This paper reports the effect of dimensions of microcantilever (MC) on its resonance frequency and bending upon adsorption of water molecules. Study is conducted on three MCs having the dimensions of 450 × 40 × 2.5 μm(3) (MC1), 225 × 30 × 3 μm(3) (MC2) and 125 × 35 × 4.
