Ultimate limits to inertial mass sensing based upon nanoelectromechanical systems
Nanomechanical resonators can now be realized that achieve fundamental resonance frequencies exceeding 1 GHz, with quality factors ~Q! in the range 10<Q<10. The minuscule active masses of these devices, in conjunction with their high Qs, translate into unprecedented inertial mass sensitivities. This makes them natural candidates for a variety of mass sensing applications. Here we evaluate the u...
متن کاملBalanced electronic detection of displacement in nanoelectromechanical systems
We describe a broadband radio frequency balanced bridge technique for electronic detection of displacement in nanoelectromechanical systems ~NEMS!. With its two-port actuation-detection configuration, this approach generates a background-nulled electromotive force in a dc magnetic field that is proportional to the displacement of the NEMS resonator. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the techn...
متن کاملDiffraction effects in optical interferometric displacement detection in nanoelectromechanical systems
Optical interferometric displacement detection techniques have recently found use in the study of nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). Here, we study the effectiveness of these techniques as the relevant NEMS dimensions are reduced beyond the optical wavelength used. We first demonstrate that optical cavities formed in the sacrificial gaps of subwavelength NEMS enable enhanced displacement det...
متن کاملLarge-scale integration of nanoelectromechanical systems for gas sensing applications.
We have developed arrays of nanomechanical systems (NEMS) by large-scale integration, comprising thousands of individual nanoresonators with densities of up to 6 million NEMS per square centimeter. The individual NEMS devices are electrically coupled using a combined series-parallel configuration that is extremely robust with respect to lithographical defects and mechanical or electrostatic-dis...
متن کاملTunnel junction based memristors as artificial synapses
We prepared magnesia, tantalum oxide, and barium titanate based tunnel junction structures and investigated their memristive properties. The low amplitudes of the resistance change in these types of junctions are the major obstacle for their use. Here, we increased the amplitude of the resistance change from 10% up to 100%. Utilizing the memristive properties, we looked into the use of the junc...
