Large area suspended graphene for nano-mechanical devices

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Clara-Fausta Moldovan

To address the need for large area dry graphene transfer techniques in Nanomechanical applications we use transfer printing to suspend large areas of graphene on pre-patterned substrates with cavities. We find that using this method, clean suspended graphe ...

Bottom-up engineering of InAs at the nanoscale: From V-shaped nanomembranes to nanowires

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Gözde Tütüncüoglu, Eleonora Russo, Sonia Conesa Boj, Anna Dalmau Mallorquí

The ability to rationally tune the morphology of nanostructures is a fundamental milestone in nanoscale engineering. In particular, the possibility to switch between different shapes within the same material system represents a further step in the developm ...

Electrochemical nanostructured biosensors: carbon nanotubes versus conductive and semi-conductive nanoparticles

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Irene Taurino, Nima Aliakbarinodehi, Gianluca Piccinini

The aim of this work was to demonstrate that various types of nanostructures provide different gains in terms of sensitivity or detection limit albeit providing the same gain in terms of increased area. Commercial screen printed electrodes (SPEs) were func ...

Plasmon Nanomechanical Coupling for Nanoscale Transduction

Tobias Kippenberg

We demonstrate plasmon-mechanical coupling in a metalized nanomechanical oscillator. A coupled surface plasmon is excited in the 25 nm wide gap between two metalized silicon nitride beams. The strong plasmonic dispersion allows the nanomechanical beams the ...
