Amplitude stabilization in a synchronized nonlinear nanomechanical oscillator
Martial Defoort, Sébastien Hentz, Steven W. Shaw +1
In contrast to the well-known phenomenon of frequency stabilization in a synchronized noisy nonlinear oscillator, little is known about its amplitude stability. In this paper, we i…
Neutral particle Mass Spectrometry with Nanomechanical Systems
Eric Sage, Ariel Brenac, Thomas Alava +7
Current approaches to Mass Spectrometry (MS) require ionization of the analytes of interest. For high-mass species, the resulting charge state distribution can be complex and diffi…
Comparison of capacitive and frequential readout when scaling accelerometers down from Micro- to Nano- Electro Mechanical Systems
Sébastien Hentz, Laurent Duraffourg, Eric Colinet
This paper shows the effect of scaling silicon accelerometers down from MEMS to NEMS. It models both electronics and Brownian noise sources for both capacitive and resonant devices…
