Abstract

A disclosed chemical detection system (10) for detecting a target material, such as an explosive material (13), can include a cantilevered probe (30), a probe heater thermally coupled to the cantilevered probe (36), and a piezoelectric element (32) disposed on the cantilevered probe. The movement or a change in the property of the cantilevered probe can occur, for example, by adsorption or desorption, reaction or phase change of the target material which is detected. The piezoelectric element can be configured as a detector and/or actuator. The overall chemical detection system can be incorporated, for example, into a handheld explosive material detection system.
