Nanomechanical motion transduction with a scalable localized gap plasmon architecture
Plasmonic structures couple oscillating electromagnetic fields to conduction electrons in noble metals and thereby can confine optical-frequency excitations at nanometre scales. This confinement both facilitates miniaturization of nanophotonic devices and makes their response highly sensitive to mechanical motion. Mechanically coupled plasmonic devices thus hold great promise as building blocks...
متن کاملParallel Transduction of Nanomechanical Motion Using Plasmonic Resonators
We demonstrate parallel transduction of thermally driven mechanical motion of an array of gold-coated silicon nitride nanomechanical beams, by using near-field confinement in plasmonic metal-insulator-metal resonators supported in the gap between the gold layers. The free-space optical readout, enabled by the plasmonic resonances, allows for addressing multiple mechanical resonators in a single...
متن کاملGradient Field Transduction of Nanomechanical Resonators
In the field of nanomechanical systems the mechanical motion of objects is studied that have at least one dimension that is well below 1 μm. In most yet not all cases the displacement is studied when exciting near a mechanical resonance. They attract scientific attention for several reasons: because of their small masses and their often little mechanical damping, that is high mechanical quality...
متن کاملPhoton-driven nanomechanical cyclic motion.
Microcantilevers modified by a monolayer of azobenzene molecules bend up and down periodically, switched by a 365 nm UV light, as a result of the conversion of the two configurations of azobenzene molecules in the monolayer.
متن کاملNanomechanical architecture of semiconductor nanomembranes.
Semiconductor nanomembranes are single-crystal sheets with thickness ranging from 5 to 500nm. They are flexible, bondable, and mechanically ultra-compliant. They present a new platform to combine bottom-up and top-down semiconductor processing to fabricate various three-dimensional (3D) nanomechanical architectures, with an unprecedented level of control. The bottom-up part is the self-assembly...
