Abstract
The mechanical resonance behavior of a ZnO nanowire/nanorod at ambient condition has been studied under optical microscope by cutting its length using focused ion beam microscopy. Nanobalance using a ZnO nanowire as the cantilever has been demonstrated for measuring the mass in the order of pico-grams in working atmosphere (see optical microscopy images). The measurement limit of the balance is estimated to be ∼1 pg. The technique demonstrated here has potential for commercial applications in general laboratories, especially for measuring the mass of wet biological cells or species.
