Abstract
The spatial sensitivity of bulk acoustic mode resonators can influence calibrations when they are implemented as accurate mass sensors of surface-bound particles. A new spatial sensitivity model based on images of the resonator surface is introduced from early principles. The adsorption of particles was studied empirically by repeatedly drying particle laden droplets on the surface of two 3.14 MHz bulk acoustic mode resonators. Theoretical and experimental results were compared to identify three scenarios over the course of consecutive droplet evaporation with varying spatial sensitivity influences. Examining different surface treatments for the resonators revealed the hydrophilic surface to have a higher rate of particle stacking and conglomeration.
