Optical diffraction for measurements of nano-mechanical bending [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractWe explore and exploit diffraction effects that have been previously neglected when modelling optical measurement techniques for the bending of micro-mechanical transducers such as cantilevers for atomic force microscopy. The illumination of a cantilever edge causes an asymmetric diffraction pattern at the photo-detector affecting the ...

Nano-mechanical variations in chamber units of dry cuttlebone
Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 2023 Natural hierarchical structures have evolved to exhibit tailored mechanical properties, such as those found in various seashells. Due to their high impact-resisting mechanical properties, these structures have been widely investigated and form the basis of bio-inspired composite materials.

A Hybrid Two-Axis Force Sensor for the Mesoscopic Structural Superlubricity Studies
Sensors, 2019 Structural superlubricity (SSL) is a state of nearly zero friction and zero wear between two directly contacted solid surfaces. Recently, SSL was achieved in mesoscale and thus opened the SSL technology which promises great applications in Micro ...

Fibrous scaffold with a tunable nonlinear elasticity
Polymer Testing, 2021 Micro/nanofibers have been widely applied to mimic the fibrillary structure of collagen type I from a bionic point of view, however, the wavy structure of collagen fibers in biological tissues such as arteries and ligaments has hardly been fabricated. In

Heat-induced ultrathin oxide layer blocks the current generation of Schottky nanogenerators
AIP Advances, 2023 Schottky nanogenerators (SNGs) are very simple power generation devices that can generate a direct current with a high current density of 104–107 Am−2 by sliding a metal-coated nanotip on semiconductor wafers.

Nano-mechanical behavior of MnTiO3 ceramics
Materials Letters, 2019 Here we investigate the mechanical behavior of the MnTiO3 ceramic. Nanoindentation tests in a manganese titanate polycrystalline sample were performed using a Berkovich indenter with a tip radius of 150 nm. On applying the load, it shows the elastic and plastic behavior.

Coherence and entanglement in a nano-mechanical cavity [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2014 We examine the role of coherences on the creation of multi-mode entanglement in a nanomechanical cavity containing a finite size one-dimensional optical lattice. We show that, in general, the system is composed of three coupled modes and find that the presence of the first-order coherence between two modes of the system is equally effective in ...
