Conceptual designs of multi-degree of freedom compliant parallel manipulators composed of wire-beam based compliant mechanisms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This paper proposes conceptual designs of multi-degree(s) of freedom (DOF) compliant parallel manipulators (CPMs) including 3-DOF translational CPMs and 6-DOF CPMs using a building block based pseudo-rigid-body-model (PRBM) approach.

Programmable Activation of Quantum Emitters in High‐Purity Silicon with Focused Carbon Ion Beams

open access: yesAdvanced Quantum Technologies, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2025.
Here, a carbon source for focused ion beams is developed and utilized for the simultaneous creation of two types of quantum emitters in silicon, the W and G centers. Furthermore, a multi‐step implantation protocol is applied for the programmable activation of the G centers with a spatial resolution better than 250 nm. This approach provides a route for

Stability margins and model-free control: A first look [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We show that the open-loop transfer functions and the stability margins may be defined within the recent model-free control setting. Several convincing computer experiments are presented including one which studies the robustness with respect to delays ...

Tweezers controlled resonator

open access: yes, 2015
We experimentally demonstrate trapping a microdroplet with an optical tweezer and then enabling it as a microresonator by bringing it close to a tapered fiber coupler.

Free ultra-high-Q microtoroid: a tool for designing photonic devices [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We describe techniques that enable fabrication of a new class of photonic devices based on free UH-Q microresonators. Preliminary results show that free silica microtoroids with Qs above 30 million can be fabricated and transferred to different platforms

High‐resolution imaging of organic and inorganic nanoparticles at nanometre‐scale resolution by X‐ray ensemble diffraction microscopy

open access: yesJournal of Synchrotron Radiation, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 217-224, January 2025.
X‐ray ensemble diffraction microscopy (XEDM) is an approach to enhance the signal‐to‐noise ratio in high‐frequency regions of scattering. This article presents direct imaging of 55 nm core–shell silica–gold nanoparticles at a 6.8 nm resolution and 19 nm nodavirus‐like‐particles in solution at a 2.6 nm resolution to demonstrate the high spatial ...

Ultra-Broadband Coherence-Domain Imaging Using Parametric Downconversion and Superconducting Single-Photon Detectors at 1064 nm

open access: yes, 2009
Coherence-domain imaging systems can be operated in a single-photon counting mode, offering low detector noise; this in turn leads to increased sensitivity for weak light sources and weakly reflecting samples.

Unlocking Electrostrain in Plastically Deformed Barium Titanate

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 36, Issue 52, December 27, 2024.
A dislocation engineering strategy is introduced to unlock electrostrains and piezoelectric properties in lead‐free BaTiO3 single crystals, achieving a record‐high strain energy density and large piezoelectric coefficient through domain structure design and controlled switching, with broad implications for advanced actuator applications.
