Published: November 2010

We have measured the backaction of a dc superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) position detector on an integrated 1 MHz flexural resonator. The frequency and quality factor of the micromechanical resonator can be tuned with bias current and applied magnetic flux. The backaction is caused by the Lorentz force due to the change in circulating current when the resonator displaces. The experimental features are reproduced by numerical calculations using the resistively and capacitively shunted junction model.

Context: Single-crystal gallium nitride (GaN) is a semiconductor material known for its hardness and brittleness. This research aims to reveal the differences in the micro-mechanisms of material removal during traditional grinding and ultrasonic vibration-assisted grinding and to provide guidance for the high-efficiency, high-quality planarization processing of single-crystal GaN. To achieve this purpose, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation methods were used to establish a model (30 nm × 40 nm × 15 nm) of single-crystal GaN being scratched by a single abrasive grain with and without ultrasonic vibration assistance.

Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) have not only enhanced traditional sensing methods, such as pixel detection (CCD and CMOS), but also enabled the development of innovative approaches with significant potential for particle detection. This is particularly relevant in terahertz (THz) ray detection, where microbolometer-based focal plane arrays (FPAs) using microelectromechanical (MEMS) resonators are among the most promising solutions. Designing high-performance, high-pixel-density sensors is challenging without FPGAs, which are crucial for deterministic parallel processing, fast ADC/DAC control, and handling large data throughput.

Article Synopsis
  • The micro disk resonator gyroscope is a small mechanical device used in navigation, and its effectiveness is greatly affected by a quality factor influenced by energy loss mechanisms.
  • The paper provides an in-depth analysis of these energy dissipation mechanisms, focusing on air damping, thermoelastic damping, and anchor loss, particularly in a high-vacuum environment.
  • Experimental results validate the theoretical findings, showing that air and thermoelastic damping are the main factors affecting performance, highlighting the need to optimize these aspects for better gyroscope design.
