The nanostructures under rotation have high promising future to be used in nano-machines, nano-motors and nano-turbines. They are also one of the topics of interests and it is new in designing of rotating nano-systems. In this paper, the scale-dependent vibration analysis of a nanoplate with consideration of the axial force due to the rotation has been investigated. The governing equation and b...

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...

Title of Dissertation: NANOMECHANICAL RESONATORS TOWARDS SINGLE SPIN SENSITIVITY Harish Bhaskaran, Doctor of Philosophy, 2006 Directed By: Professor Keith Schwab Department of Physics Ultrasensitive force detectors are required for progress towards single atom imaging using magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM). MRFM is a scanned probe imaging technique, with potential for atomic-scale, no...

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 ...

Submicron cantilever structures have been demonstrated to be extremely versatile sensors and have potential applications in physics, chemistry and biology. The basic principle in submicron cantilever sensors is the measurement of the resonance frequency shift due to the added mass of the molecules bound to the cantilever surface. This paper presents a theoretical model to predict the resonance ...

nanotechnology involves the ability to see and control individual atoms and molecules which are about 100 nanometer or smaller. one of the major tools used in this field is atomic force microscopy which uses a wealth of techniques to measure the topography and investigates the surface forces in nanoscale. friction force is the representation of the surface interaction between two surfaces an...

Ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) films are promising for radio frequency micro electro mechanical systems (RF-MEMS) resonators due to the extraordinary physical properties of diamond, such as high Young’s modulus, quality factor, and stable surface chemistry. UNCD films used for this study are grown on 150 mm silicon wafers using hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) at 680°C. UNCD ...

Pattern creating with nano-particle is one of the best application methods in nano-scale that it will be used for new pattern creating and make micro/nano-electromechanical System (MEMS/NEMS) in future. Particle swarm optimization algorithm is one of evolutionary computation techniques and the optimization method based on population and ant algorithm, optimization algorithm is modeled based on ...

in this paper, a monotone positive solution is studied for buckling of a distributed model of multi walled carbon nanotube (mwcnt) cantilevers in the vicinity of thin and thick graphite sheets subject to intermolecular forces. in the modeling of intermolecular forces, van der waals forces are taken into account. a hybrid nano-scale continuum model based on lennard–jones potential is applied to ...
