Abstract:

Abandoning the uniaxial stress assumption, a continuum laminated beam model in terms of deflection induced by labelfree biodetections is set up to study nanomechanical behaviors of a biodetector subjected to hybridization surface stresses and thermal loads. Linear and uniform temperature fields are used separately to simulate transient and steady temperature distributions in biochemical reactions in order to explain the bimetallic effects in Fritz's experiments on DNA hybridizations.

Key words: hybridization surface stress, microcantilever laminated beam

, nano-thermomechanical deformation,
