Levitated nano-trampoline resonators for magnetic field sensing
Xianfeng Chen, Nirmala Raj, Matthew R. Chua +7
Levitated systems and high- membrane nanomechanical resonators have achieved exceptional sensitivity in precision sensing, but functionalizing such resonators for practical appl…
Experimental Quantification of Nonlinear Mode Coupling in Nanomechanical Resonators using Multi-tone Excitation
Chris F. D. Wattjes, Zichao Li, Minxing Xu +3
Nonlinear modal interactions in resonant systems govern a wide range of phenomena, with broad relevance across modern physics and engineering. Yet, experimentally determining the s…
Cascade of Modal Interactions in Nanomechanical Resonators with Soft Clamping
Zichao Li, Minxing Xu, Richard A. Norte +3
We uncover a chain of nonlinear modal interactions in softly clamped nanostring resonators. The process involves the sequential coupling of five mechanical modes, during frequency…
High-Resolution Casimir Force Sensing Across a Superconducting Transition
Minxing Xu, Robbie J. G. Elbertse, Ata Keşkekler +4
The Casimir effect and superconductivity are foundational quantum phenomena whose interplay is an open question in physics, with significant implications for electron physics, quan…
Finite Element-based Nonlinear Dynamic Optimization of Nanomechanical Resonators
Zichao Li, Farbod Alijani, Ali Sarafraz +4
Nonlinear dynamic simulations of mechanical resonators have been facilitated by the advent of computational techniques that generate nonlinear reduced order models (ROMs) using the…
High-Strength Amorphous Silicon Carbide for Nanomechanics
Minxing Xu, Dongil Shin, Paolo M. Sberna +4
For decades, mechanical resonators with high sensitivity have been realized using thin-film materials under high tensile loads. Although there have been remarkable strides in achie…
Resolution Limits of Resonant Sensors with Duffing Non-Linearity
Tomás Manzaneque, Murali K. Ghatkesar, Farbod Alijani +3
The resolution of resonant sensors is fundamentally limited by the presence of noise. Thermomechanical noise, intrinsic to the resonator, sets the ultimate sensor performance when…
