Read about the QCM mass sensitivity distribution, what it looks like and how it affects the quantification of the data.
Compared to QCM, QCM-D measures an additional parameter, and provides more information about the system under study.
In the context of QCM-based instrumentation, 'dissipation' or ‘damping’ are often mentioned. Read about what these concepts mean, and why are they relevant.
QCM-D and QCM-R both collect information about the energy loss. Read about how these thow methods compare.
Read about how and why the QCM fundamental frequency matters in measurements
Learn how to assess a QCM-specification and how to compare performance and data quality between different instruments
The fundamental resonance frequency of QCM-sensors is often 5MHz. Learn about the theory behind the number.
Read about why it is possible to gain valuable information from a viscoelastic sample by monitoring multiple overtones in QCM measurements.
The D-factor provides information that is complementary to the frequency response. Read about how it can be understood and what information it reveals.
