چکیده
Micro bimorph coils driven by a metalinsulator phase transition in VO2 function as powerful torsional muscles. Reversible torsional motion over one million cycles without degradation is demonstrated, with a superior rotational speed up to ca. 200,000 rpm, an amplitude of 500° per mm length, and a power density up to ca. 39 kW kg⁻¹.

Phase Transitions, Domains Walls and Defects Dynamics of LaAlO3 via In Situ Heating in the Transmission Electron Microscope
Many materials processes are thermally activated, and a full understanding of the microscopic details often requires characterization on the nanoscale. In situ heating in the TEM is a powerful technique for observing temperature effects on the atomic scale. We use in situ TEM to study octahedral rotations, which play a key role in the strain-driven coupling of order parameters in multifunctiona...

Powder activated carbon surface (AC) was grinded and modified and altered procedure thorough a facile and easy chemical reaction to appearance of 2-((3silylpropylimino)1-methyl) phenol (AC- (SPIMP)). Subsequently, this novel sorbent efficiently applied for the extraction and preconcentration of some metal ions from real samples. Preliminary the influences of variables such as pH, amounts of rea...
متن کاملAxial and Torsional Free Vibrations of Elastic Nano-Beams by Stress-Driven Two-Phase Elasticity
Size-dependent longitudinal and torsional vibrations of nano-beams are examined by two-phase mixture integral elasticity. A new and efficient elastodynamic model is conceived by convexly combining the local phase with strain- and stress-driven purely nonlocal phases. The proposed stress-driven nonlocal integral mixture leads to well-posed structural problems for any value of the scale parameter...
متن کاملStability Analysis in Parametrically Excited Electrostatic Torsional Micro-actuators
This paper addresses the static and dynamic stabilities of a parametrically excited torsional micro-actuator. The system is composed of a rectangular micro-mirror symmetrically suspended between two electrodes and acted upon by a steady (dc ) while simultaneously superimposed to an (ac ) voltage. First, the stability of the system subjected to a quasi-statically applied (dc ) voltage is investi...
متن کاملTorsional fluctuations in columnar DNA assemblies
In columnar assemblies of helical bio-molecules the azimuthal degrees of freedom, i.e. rotations about the long axes of molecules, may be important in determining the structure of the assemblies, especially when the interaction energy between neighbouring molecules explicitly depends on their relative azimuthal orientations. For DNA this leads to a rich variety of mesophases for columnar assemb...
