Accelerating the heat diffusion: fast thermal relaxation of a microcantilever
Basile Pottier, Carlos Plata, Emmanuel Trizac +2
In most systems, thermal diffusion is intrinsically slow with respect to mechanical relaxation. We devise here a generic approach to accelerate the relaxation of the temperature fi…
Force microscopy cantilevers locally heated in a fluid: temperature fields and effects on the dynamics
Basile Pottier, Ludovic Bellon
Atomic force microscopy cantilevers are often, intentionally or not, heated at their extremity. We describe a model to compute the resulting temperature field in the cantilever and…
Thermo-optical bistability in silicon micro-cantilevers
Basile Pottier, Ludovic Bellon
We report a thermo-optical bistability observed in silicon micro-cantilevers irradiated by a laser beam with mW powers: reflectivity, transmissivity, absorption, and temperature ca…
Silicon cantilevers locally heated from 300K up to the melting point: temperature profile measurement from their resonances frequency shift
Basile Pottier, Felipe Aguilar, Mickaël Geitner +2
When heated, micro-resonators present a shift of their resonance frequencies. We study specifically silicon cantilevers heated locally by laser absorption, and evaluate theoretical…
"Noiseless" thermal noise measurement of atomic force microscopy cantilevers
Basile Pottier, Ludovic Bellon
When measuring quadratic values representative of random fluctuations, such as the thermal noise of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) cantilevers, the background measurement noise cann…
