Tunable 3D Nanoresonators for Gas-Sensing Applications
Abstract
Abstract The detection of gas species with high sensitivity is a significant task for fundamental sciences as well as for industrial applications. Similarly, the ongoing trend for device miniaturization brings new challenges for advanced fabrication including on‐demand functionality tuning. Following this motivation, here the additive, direct‐write fabrication of freestanding 3D nanoarchitectures is introduced, which can be brought into mechanical resonance via electric AC fields. Specifically, this study focuses on the 3D nanostructure synthesis, the subsequent determination of Young's modulus, and demonstrates a postgrowth procedure, which can precisely tune the material modulus. As‐fabricated resonators reveal a Young's modulus of 9–13 GPa, which can be increased by a factor greater than 5. Next, the electric readout of the resonance behavior is demonstrated via electric current measurement as an essential element for the resonance sensor applications. Finally, the implications of gas‐physisorption and gas‐chemisorption on the resonance frequencies are studied, representing a proof‐of‐principle for sensing applications by the here presented approach.
