Long-Term Aging Study of a Silicon Nitride Nanomechanical Resonator

Michel Stephan, Alexandre Bouchard, Timothy Hodges +4

Short-term changes in the resonance frequency of silicon nitride (SiN) nanomechanical resonators can be measured very precisely due to low thermomechanical fluctuations resulting f…

Comparison of measurement systems for assessing number- and mass-based particle filtration efficiency

Timothy A. Sipkens, Joel C. Corbin, Triantafillos Koukoulas +8

The particle filtration efficiency (PFE) of a respirator or face mask is one of its key properties. While the physics of particle filtration results in the PFE being size-dependent…
