Studying Soft Interfaces with Shear Waves: Principles and Applications of the Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM)
The response of the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM, also: QCM-D for “QCM with Dissipation monitoring”) to loading with a diverse set of samples is reviewed in a consistent frame. After a brief introduction to the advanced QCMs, the governing equation (the small-load approximation) is derived. Plan...
