Mass sensitivity and quality factor decrease with increasing length-to-width ratio.
Optimal length-to-width ratio (5) and resonant frequency (540.7 kHz) were identified for a constant surface area.
Slots enhance the read-out signal with a minor Q factor reduction.
Edge serrations significantly reduce gas damping.

Conclusions:

The study provides key insights into optimizing MCL design for aerosol mass sensing.
Shape modifications offer a pathway to developing high-frequency, high-sensitivity, and high-quality aerosol mass sensors.
