Focused Ion Beam NanoSQUIDs as Novel NEMS Resonator Readouts
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nano electromechanical systems (NEMS) represent an important new class of device with wide ranging applications. In this paper we report proposals and calculations for novel methods for excitation and readout of cantilever-style NEMS resonators which are applicable over a wide temperature range. We suggest a Lorentz force-based excitation method and discuss an ultrasensitive readout provided by a nanoSQUID, where the cantilever vibration modulates the inductance of the nanoSQUID loop, allowing potentially sub-picometer amplitude sensitivity to be achieved.

Size Effect Impact on the Mechanical Behavior of an Electrically Actuated Polysilicon Nanobeam based NEMS Resonator
In this paper, the dynamic response of resonating nano-beams is investigated using a strain gradient elasticity theory. A nonlinear model is obtained based on the Galerkin decomposition method to find the dynamic response of the investigated beam around its statically deflected position. The mid-plane stretching, axial residual stress and nonlinear interaction due to the electrostatic force on ...

Two types of compact microwave plasma ion sources (MWPIS) for focused ion beam (FIB) have been developed. Cavity resonator type plasma ion source is subjected to make resonant electric field in order to ignite plasma efficiently. The optimum length of resonator and antenna, and position of quartz and antenna have been designed by both simple calculation and computer simulation. The other source...
متن کاملHopf Bifurcation in a Disk-shaped Nems
Self-sustained mechanical vibrations of a disc-type microfabricated resonator were experimentally observed when a continuous wave (CW) laser beam was focused on the periphery of the disc (for a 40 μm diameter resonator, natural frequency 0.89MHz, the laser power above a 250 W threshold was required). A theoretical model for self-oscillatory behavior has been developed based on FEM analysis of a...
