Quantifying the Knudsen force on heated microbeams: a compact model and direct comparison with measurements.
At the microscale, even moderate temperature differences leading to thermal nonequilibrium can result in significant Knudsen forces generated by the energy exchange between gas molecules and solids immersed in a gas. Experimental measurements of the microscale Knudsen force have been reported by Passian et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 124503 (2003) using heated microcantilevers of atomic force mic...
متن کاملWhat Determines Knudsen Force at the Microscale
Knudsen forces arise in microscale systems when there is a thermal gradient with a characteristic length scale comparable to the molecular mean free path of the ambient gas. These forces are sometimes referred as radiometric or thermo-molecular forces [1] and have been recently measured experimentally in a microscale configuration using heated atomic force microscopy (AFM) probes [2]. The Knuds...
متن کاملKnudsen Force Modeling in Application to Microsystems
At the microscale, even moderate temperature differences can result in significant Knudsen forces generated by the energy exchange between gas molecules and solids immersed in a gas. Creating, controlling and measuring Knudsen forces in microsystems can be an arduous task since only limited theory exists at present. This present study investigates the mechanism of Knudsen forces in detail based...
متن کاملKnudsen forces on microcantilevers
When two surfaces at two different temperatures are separated by a distance comparable to a mean-free path of the molecules of the ambient medium, the surfaces experience Knudsen force. This mechanical force can be important in microelectromechanical systems and in atomic force microscopy. A theoretical discussion of the magnitude of the forces and the conditions where they can be encountered i...
متن کاملNanotopographical imaging using a heated atomic force microscope cantilever probe
This paper reports quantitative topographical measurements using a heated atomic force microscope (AFM) cantilever probe. The study compares opographies measured by the cantilever thermal signal to topographies measured by the laser-deflection signal of an AFM system. The experiment sed 20 and 100 nm tall Si gratings as topographical test samples. The cantilever heater temperature ranged from 1...
