Nanomechanical Infrared Spectroscopy with completely free-standing pyrolytic carbon string resonators for paracetamol detection

Description

Here, we present a nanomechanical Infrared (NAM-IR) Spectroscopy
for detection of paracetamol by using pyrolytic carbon string
resonators. The string resonators were fabricated by pyrolysis process
of SU-8 in inert atmosphere and followed by characterization using
optical readout to measure the resonance frequencies and quality
factors. Paracetamol deposited on the resonators converts absorbed IR
light into a measurable frequency detuning of the string through
photothermal heating. The resulting frequency change was tracked to
obtain the absorption spectrum of paracetamol.
