Diffraction of evanescent waves and nanomechanical displacement detection.
Sensitive displacement detection has emerged as a significant technological challenge in mechanical resonators with nanometer-scale dimensions. A novel nanomechanical displacement detection scheme based upon the scattering of focused evanescent fields is proposed. The sensitivity of the proposed approach is studied using diffraction theory of evanescent waves. Diffraction theory results are com...
متن کاملEffects of radio waves on male fertility
In recent years, male fertility has changed due to the effects of environmental, health and lifestyle factors and the infertility rate has increased, to the extent that male fertility may be affected by extreme heat, exposure to pesticides, radiation, substances Changes in radioactivity, lifestyle, stress and occupation. In the environment, there are ionizing and non-ionizing rays whose effect...
متن کاملNanomechanical humidity detection through porous alumina cantilevers
We present here the behavior of the resonance frequency of porous anodic alumina cantilever arrays during water vapor adsorption and emphasize their possible use in the micromechanical sensing of humidity levels at least in the range of 10-22%. The sensitivity of porous anodic aluminium oxide cantilevers (Δf/Δm) and the humidity sensitivity equal about 56 Hz/pg and about 100 Hz/%, respectively....
متن کاملNanomechanical optical fiber.
Optical fibers are an excellent transmission medium for light and underpin the infrastructure of the Internet, but generally after fabrication their optical properties cannot be easily modified. Here, we explore the concept of nanomechanical optical fibers where, in addition to the fiber transmission capability, the internal core structure of the fiber can also be controlled through sub-micron ...
متن کاملMass detection with a nonlinear nanomechanical resonator.
Nanomechanical resonators having small mass, high resonance frequency, and low damping rate are widely employed as mass detectors. We study the performance of such a detector when the resonator is driven into a region of nonlinear oscillations. We predict theoretically that in this region the system acts as a phase-sensitive mechanical amplifier. This behavior can be exploited to achieve noise ...
