SOI-based micro-mechanical terahertz detector operating at room-temperature
K. Froberger, B. Walter, M. Lavancier +5
We present a micro-mechanical terahertz (THz) detector fabricated on a silicon on insulator (SOI) substrate and operating at room-temperature. The device is based on a U-shaped can…
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…
Persistence of superconductivity in niobium ultrathin films grown on R-Plane Sapphire
Cécile Delacour, Luc Ortega, Marc Faucher +4
We report on a combined structural and electronic analysis of niobium ultrathin films (from 2 to 10 nm) deposited in ultra-high vacuum on atomically flat R-plane sapphire wafers. A…
Electrostatic Actuators Operating in Liquid Environment : Suppression of Pull-in Instability and Dynamic Response
A. -S. Rollier, M. Faucher, B. Legrand +2
This paper presents results about fabrication and operation of electrostatic actuators in liquids with various permittivities. In the static mode, we provide experimental and theor…
Magnetic and Thermodynamic Properties of the Collective Paramagnet-Spin Liquid Pyrochlore Tb2Ti2O7
M. J. P. Gingras, B. C. den Hertog, M. Faucher +5
In a recent letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 82}, 1012 (1999)] it was found that the Tb magnetic moments in the TbTiO pyrochlore lattice of corner-sharing tetrahedr…
