Force measurement in the presence of Brownian noise: Equilibrium distribution method vs. Drift method
Thomas Brettschneider, Giovanni Volpe, Laurent Helden +2
The study of microsystems and the development of nanotechnologies require new techniques to measure piconewton and femtonewton forces at microscopic and nanoscopic scales. Amongst…

Influence of Noise on Force Measurements
Giovanni Volpe, Laurent Helden, Thomas Brettschneider +2
We demonstrate how the ineluctable presence of thermal noise alters the measurement of forces acting on microscopic and nanoscopic objects. We quantify this effect exemplarily for…
