in this paper, eringen’s nonlocal elasticity and timoshenko beam theories are implemented to analyze the bending vibration for non-uniform nano-beams.  the governing equations and the boundary conditions are derived using hamilton’s principle. a generalized differential quadrature method (gdqm) is utilized for solving the governing equations of non-uniform timoshenko nano-beam for pinned-pinned...

As optical counterpart of microwave antennas, optical nano-antennas are important devices for converting propagating radiation into confined/enhanced fields at nanoscale. The recent advances in resonant sub-wavelength optical antennas have now offered researchers a continuum of electromagnetic spectrum—from radio frequencies all the way up to X-rays—to design, analyze and predict new phenomena ...

This paper reports the design and fabrication of capacitive silicon nanomechanical resonators with the selective vibration of a high-order mode. Fixed-fixed beam capacitive silicon resonators have been successfully produced by the use of electron beam lithography, photolithography, deep reactive ion etching, and anodic bonding methods. All resonators with different vibration modes are designed ...

Owning to their unparalleled sensitivity resolution, nanomechanical resonators have excellent capabilities in design of nano-sensors for gas detection. The current challenge is to develop newdesigns of the resonators for differentiating distinct gas atoms with a recognizably high sensitivity. In this work, the characteristics of impulse wave propagation in carbon nanotube-based sensors are inve...

Nanoscale disorder results in severe spectral misalignment of silicon microring resonators and Mach-Zehnder interferometers. We correct for such effects using electric-field-induced waveguide nano-oxidation, demonstrating a tuning wavelength range of several nanometers and 0.002 nm resolution without line shape degradation. Field-induced nano-oxidation is a permanent and precise technique and r...

Dielectric resonators form the building blocks of nano-scale optical antennas and metamaterials. Due to their multipolar resonant response and low intrinsic losses they offer design flexibility and high-efficiency performance. These resonators are typically described in terms of a spherical harmonic decomposition with Mie theory. In experimental realizations however, a departure from spherical ...

The focusability of a long l)ulse XeCI excimer laser has been improved using confocal positive branch unstable resonators where the outcoupling is done through the convex mirror. For the outcoupler different reflectivity profiles are used. A near diffraction limited output beam is obtained from hard edge unstable resonators. A beam with only one central s1)ot in the focus of a lens can be obtai...

The conception of High Power Linac developed in Russian accelerator centres is based on the use of independently phased SC resonators with quadrupole lenses between them. The type and parameters of the resonators as well as focusing structure are varied along the linac to optimise beam dynamics and the characteristics of the linac. The beam evolution in the linac was studied by simulation in 3D...

Since its first realization by Crewe et al. in the late 60s, the STEM microscope design has fully confirmed its potentiality for capturing most signals resulting from the interaction between a primary electron beam and the target. Taking benefit of recent instrumental developments, it now offers unique performance in terms of joint spatial and spectral resolution. The richness of this multi-sig...
