Ultrasensitive force detection with a nanotube mechanical resonator.
Since the advent of atomic force microscopy, mechanical resonators have been used to study a wide variety of phenomena, including the dynamics of individual electron spins, persistent currents in normal metal rings and the Casimir force. Key to these experiments is the ability to measure weak forces. Here, we report on force sensing experiments with a sensitivity of 12 zN Hz(-1/2) at a temperat...
متن کاملMechanical detection of carbon nanotube resonator vibrations.
Bending-mode vibrations of carbon nanotube resonators were mechanically detected in air at atmospheric pressure by means of a novel scanning force microscopy method. The fundamental and higher order bending eigenmodes were imaged at up to 3.1 GHz with subnanometer resolution in vibration amplitude. The resonance frequency and the eigenmode shape of multiwall nanotubes are consistent with the el...
متن کاملForce detection and frequency fluctuations in carbon nanotube mechanical resonators
Carbon nanotubes allow studying a broad range of phenomena, from many-electron transport in onedimensional systems to nonlinear dynamics and fluctuations of bending modes. They also provide unique tools for mass and charge measurements with unprecedented sensitivity [1,2]. Another important new application is force measurement. I will present our recent force sensing experiments in which our na...
متن کاملUltrasensitive Detection of Testosterone Using Microring Resonator with Molecularly Imprinted Polymers
We report ultrasensitive and highly selective detection of testosterone based on microring resonance sensor using molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP). A silicon-on-insulator (SOI) micoring resonator was modified by MIP films (MIPs) on a surface. The MIPs was synthesized by thermopolymerization using methacrylic acid as functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as crosslinking agent...
متن کاملDetection of napropamide by microwave resonator sensor using carbon nanotube – polypyrrole- chitosan layer
This paper presents the design and fabrication of proximity coupled feed disk resonator coated with Multi Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) and Polypyrrole-Chitosan (PPy-CHI) layers as a napropamide sensor. Computer Simulation Technology (CST) microwave studio was used to obtain the best design of disk resonator and feed line position in 5 GHz resonant frequency. Also, MWCNTs - PPy-CHI layers we...
