In this work a prototype of micro force sensor of range μN...mN is presented. Instead of the traditional piezoresistive strain sensing through thick-film resistors used for higher forces, a more effective principle is used: measurement of beam displacement ...
The era of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) started twenty years ago. A cut gold cantilever with a glued diamond stylus served as the scanning probe. Within a few years the crystalline silicon (Si) became the – up to today – predominant SPM probe material. ...
Abstract—A common problem when using piezoceramic actuators for precise positioning is their hysteresis. Either external sensors such as capacitive or inductive probes, optical sensors or strain gauges are commonly used. The latter are the most favorable s ...
In this work, mineral sacrificial pastes (MSP) previously developed for standard thick-film technology (alumina substrates) are extended to LTCC in order to make a capacitive anemometer. Application of MSP materials on free-sintering (unconstrained and not ...
An easy method for fabricating micro- and nanofluidic channels, entirely made of a thermally grown silicon dioxide is presented. The nanochannels are up to 1-mm long and have widths and heights down to 200 nm, whereas the microfluidic channels are 20-μm wi ...
Electrical resistance in carbon-fiber reinforced polymers has been shown experimentally to be a sensitive measure of internal damage. To quantify the dependence of electrical resistance on mechanical fiber damage at the micromechanical level, a numerical e ...
This thesis analyzes the properties of heavily doped nanocrystalline titanium dioxide. Thin films were deposited by magnetron sputtering with either water vapor as reactive gas or a periodically interrupted oxygen supply. The samples were at the same time ...
The aim of this thesis work is to study the spin-dependent transport in multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT). To do so, the electrical resistance of MWNT contacted between ferromagnetic electrodes has been measured, as a function of the contacts magnetic co ...
The directed assembly of nanoparticles and nanoscale materials onto specific locations of a surface is one of the major challenges in nanotechnology. Here we present a simple and scalable method and model for the assembly of nanoparticles in between electr ...
We present piezoresponse force microscopy measurements on individual integrated potassium niobate (KNbO3) nanowires. The devices consist of KNbO3 nanowires on SiO2 substrates being mechanically clamped and electrically biased by lithographically defined me ...
