• the nanoscale like no other tool before it [2]. The technologies derived from research into the AFM have led to developments in nanomachining [3], nanometrology [4], material science [5], semiconductor manufacturing [6][7] and high-density data storage systems [8][9][10]. The AFM uses a sharp probe

• characterization that permits quality assessment based on density measurements, and also invokes a correction resulting from the surface contribution to the density. The novelty of our findings is a correlation between the density and the specific surface area. This interdependence can be used in nanometrology

• applications that range from mass-sensing [20] to nanometrology of thin films and embedded nanostructures. These applications are based on elastic multi-mode excitations that last few oscillations [21]. In this context the present analysis will enlarge the space of parameters to be exploited for the sensing
