Selective high frequency mechanical actuation driven by the VO2 electronic instability
Nicola Manca, Luca Pellegrino, Teruo Kanki +6
Micro- and nano-electromechanical resonators are a fundamental building block of modern technology, used in environmental monitoring, robotics, medical tools as well as fundamental…
Programmable Mechanical Resonances in MEMS by Localized Joule Heating of Phase Change Materials
Nicola Manca, Luca Pellegrino, Teruo Kanki +4
A programmable micromechanical resonator based on a VO2 thin film is reported. Multiple mechanical eigenfrequency states are programmed using Joule heating as local power source, g…
Influence of thermal boundary conditions on the current-driven resistive transition in microbridges
Nicola Manca, Teruo Kanki, Hidekazu Tanaka +2
We investigate the resistive switching behaviour of microbridges under current bias as a function of temperature and thermal coupling with the heat bath. Upon incre…
