Accelerometer using atomic waves for space applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
— The techniques of laser cooling combined with atom interferometry make possible the realization of very sensitive and accurate inertial sensors like gyroscopes or accelerometers. Besides earth-based developments, the use of these techniques in space should provide extremely high sensitivity for research in fundamental physics, Earth’s observation and exploration of the solar system.

Design and performance analysis of a seismic grade resonance nano accelerometer
In this paper, design and performance analysis of a resonance nanosensor for earthquake low frequency geoacoustic waves detection is proposed. The model comprises of a proof mass suspended to the substrate, and a nanobeam attached to the intersection of the proof mass to the substrate. The nanobeam could be cosidered as a clamped-clamped nanoresonator actuated electrostartically. The induced ac...
متن کاملRayleigh Waves in a Homogeneous Magneto-Thermo Voigt-Type Viscoelastic Half-Space under Initial Surface Stresses
This paper deals with the propagation of magneto-thermo Rayleigh waves in a homogeneous viscoelastic half-space under initial stress. It has been observed that velocity of Rayleigh waves depends on viscosity, magnetic field, temperature and initial stress of the half-space. The frequency equation for Rayleigh waves under the effect of magnetic field, stress and temperature for both viscoelastic...

Abstract The ray series method may be generalized using a ray centered coordinate system for general 3D-heterogeneous media. This method is useful for Amplitude Versus Offset (AVO) seismic modeling, seismic analysis, interpretational purposes, and comparison with seismic field observations.For each central ray (constant ray parameter), the kinematic (the eikonal) and dynamic ray tracing system ...
