QCM-D, or Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation monitoring, is a highly sensitive technique used to measure mass changes and viscoelastic properties of thin films at the nanoscale. This method allows researchers to monitor the frequency and energy dissipation changes of a quartz crystal resonator as mass is added or removed, making it ideal for studying biomolecular interactions and film properties.
congrats on reading the definition of qcm-d. now let's actually learn it.
