The Quartz-Crystal Microbalance in an Undergraduate Laboratory Experiment: Measuring Mass
Tsionsky, Vladimir
Journal of Chemical Education, v84 n8 p1340 Aug 2007
The study explains the quartz-crystal microbalance (QCM) technique, which is often used as an undergraduate laboratory experiment for measuring the mass of a system. QCM can be used as a mass sensor only when the measured mass is rigidly attached to the surface.
