masseladning
Masseladning refers to the addition of mass to a surface or device, typically through adsorption, deposition, or coating. The added mass modifies the system’s dynamic properties, most commonly its resonance characteristics. In mass-sensitive sensors, the amount of mass can be inferred from measurable changes in frequency, damping, or both.
In resonant devices such as quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensors, the relationship between added mass Δm
Masseladning is used to characterize layer-by-layer adsorption, protein binding, thin-film deposition, and gas uptake on surfaces.
Limitations include the assumption of a uniform, rigid film and the need to avoid large viscoelastic or
