Micromechanical resonators have aroused growing interest as biological and chemical sensors, and microcantilever beams are the main research focus. Recently, a resonant microcantilever with an integrated heater has been applied in on-chip thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). However, there is a strong relationship between the mass sensitivity of a resonant microcantilever and the location of adsorbed masses.

Resonant microcantilevers have the advantages of ultra-high heating rates, analysis speed, ultra-low power consumption, temperature programming, and trace sample analysis when applied in TGA. However, the current single-channel testing system for resonant microcantilevers can only detect one sample at a time, and need two program heating tests to obtain the thermogravimetric curve of a sample. In many cases, it is desirable to obtain the thermogravimetric curve of a sample with a single-program heating test and to simultaneously detect multiple microcantilevers for testing multiple samples.

Calcination plays a vital role during material preparation. However, the calcination conditions have often been determined empirically or have been based on trial and error. Herein we present a cooperative characterization approach to optimize calcination conditions by gas-cell TEM in collaboration with microcantilever-based thermogravimetric analysis (cantilever-TGA) techniques.

We demonstrate a highly sensitive acoustic vibration sensor based on a tapered-tip optical fiber acting as a microcantilever. The tapered-tip fiber has a unique output profile that exhibits a circular fringe pattern, whose distribution is highly sensitive to the vibration of the fiber tip. A piezo transducer is used for the acoustic excitation of the fiber microcantilever, which results in a periodic bending of the tip and thereby a significant output power modulation.
