Conductive Carbon Nanotube Composite Microprobes
Because of their outstanding electrical and mechanical properties, including high stiffness and mechanical resilience, ballistic electron transport at micrometer scales, and high current-carrying capacity, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) could enable a new class of electrical elements ranging from transistors to interconnects. However, realizing the properties of individual CNTs in assemblies of CNTs h...
متن کاملMicroscopic flow measurements with optically trapped microprobes.
The use of optical tweezers to measure micrometer-resolution velocity fields in fluid flow is demonstrated as an extension of a scanning confocal viscosity microscope. This demonstration is achieved by detection of the motion of an optically trapped microsphere in an oscillating laser trap. The technique is validated by comparison with an independent video-based measurement and applied to obtai...
متن کاملDebye size microprobes for electric field measurements in laboratory plasmas
Microelectromechanical systems MEMS have led to the development of a host of tiny machines and sensors over the past decade. Plasma physics is in great need of small detectors for several reasons. First of all, very small detectors do not disturb a plasma, and secondly some detectors can only work because they are very small. We report on the first of a series of small sub-Debye length probes f...
متن کاملAcoustically propelled nanoshells.
Herein we report a new design for acoustic nanoswimmers, making use of a nanoshell geometry that was synthesized using a sphere template process. Such shell-shaped nanomotors display highly efficient acoustic propulsion on the nanoscale by converting energy from the ambient acoustic field into motion. The propulsion mechanism of the nanoshell motors relies on acoustic streaming stress over the ...
متن کاملSelf-propelled Leidenfrost droplets.
We report that liquids perform self-propelled motion when they are placed in contact with hot surfaces with asymmetric (ratchetlike) topology. The pumping effect is observed when the liquid is in the Leidenfrost regime (the film-boiling regime), for many liquids and over a wide temperature range. We propose that liquid motion is driven by a viscous force exerted by vapor flow between the solid ...
