Very high frequency probes for atomic force microscopy with silicon optomechanics
L Schwab, P Allain, N Mauran +8
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been constantly supporting nanosciences and nanotechnologies for over 30 years, being present in many fields from condensed matter physics to biol…
A multiphysics model for high frequency optomechanical sensors optically actuated and detected in the oscillating mode
Samantha Sbarra, Pierre Etienne Allain, Aristide Lemaître +1
Optomechanical systems combine extreme sensitivity and bandwidth in the control of mechanical motion, of interest for various applications. Integrated on a chip, actuated and detec…
Optomechanical Resonating Probe for Very High Speed Sensing of Atomic Forces
Pierre Etienne Allain, Lucien Schwab, Colin Misner +10
Atomic force spectroscopy and microscopy (AFM) are invaluable tools to characterize nanostructures and biological systems. Most experiments, including state-of-the-art images of mo…
Microscopic nanomechanical dissipation in gallium arsenide resonators
Mehdi Hamoumi, Pierre Etienne Allain, William Hease +5
We report on a systematic study of nanomechanical dissipation in high-frequency (approximatively 300 MHz) gallium arsenide optomechanical disk resonators, in conditions where clamp…
Color Atomic Force Microscopy with on-the-fly Morse parameters mapping
Pierre Etienne Allain, Denis Damiron, Yuta Miyazaki +5
Atomic Force Microscopy has enabled 2D imaging at the sub-molecular level, and 3D mapping of the potential field. However, fast identification of the surface still remains a challe…
Klein tunneling in graphene: optics with massless electrons
P. E. Allain, J. N. Fuchs
This article provides a pedagogical review on Klein tunneling in graphene, i.e. the peculiar tunneling properties of two-dimensional massless Dirac electrons. We consider two simpl…
