Amplitude stabilization in a synchronized nonlinear nanomechanical oscillator
Martial Defoort, Sébastien Hentz, Steven W. Shaw +1
In contrast to the well-known phenomenon of frequency stabilization in a synchronized noisy nonlinear oscillator, little is known about its amplitude stability. In this paper, we i…
A dynamical approach to generate chaos in a micromechanical resonator
Martial Defoort, Libor Rufer, Laurent Fesquet +1
Chaotic systems, presenting complex and non-reproducible dynamics, may be found in nature from the interaction between planets to the evolution of the weather, but can also be tail…
Optomechanical mass spectrometry
Marc Sansa, Martial Defoort, Ariel Brenac +8
It has been demonstrated in the recent years that nanomechanical mass spectrometry was well suited for the analysis of specific high mass species such as viruses. Still, the exclus…
Charge-independent mass spectrometry of single virus capsids above 100MDa with nanomechanical resonators
Sergio Dominguez-Medina, Shawn Fostner, Martial Defoort +10
Most technologies, including conventional mass spectrometry, struggle to measure the mass of particles in the MDa to GDa range. Although this mass range appears optimal for nanomec…
Single-particle Mass Spectrometry with arrays of frequency-addressed nanomechanical resonators
Eric Sage, Marc Sansa, Shawn Fostner +12
One of the main challenges to overcome to perform nanomechanical Mass Spectrometry (NEMS-MS) analysis in a practical time frame stems from the size mismatch between the analyte bea…
Non-linear Frequency Transduction of Nano-mechanical Brownian Motion
Olivier Maillet, Xin Zhou, Rasul Gazizulin +4
We report on experiments addressing the non-linear interaction between a nano-mechanical mode and position fluctuations. The Duffing non-linearity transduces the Brownian motion of…
