Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling and design of an electrostatically levitated disc for inertial sensing applications
TL;DR: In this article, the design of a micromachined disc is described, where the disc is encaged by electrodes at its top, bottom and periphery, and electric forces are used to levitate the disc at the center position.
Journal ArticleDOI
A mass sensor based on 3-DOF mode localized coupled resonator under atmospheric pressure
Yuan Wang,Chun Zhao,Chen Wang,Delphine Cerica,Mathieu Baijot,Qijun Xiao,Serguei Stoukatch,Michael Kraft +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the mass sensitivity of a 3-DOF mode localized electrostatically coupled resonator is investigated and characterized under atmospheric pressure, where nanoparticles are added on and removed from one resonator of the system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling of an accelerometer based on a levitated proof mass
Ruth Houlihan,Michael Kraft +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a Simulink system level model of a force balance accelerometer is presented, in which the proof mass is levitated with electrostatic forces and the position of the demonstrator is detected capacitively and controlled electrostatically.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fabrication of MEMS components using ultrafine-grained aluminium alloys
TL;DR: In this article, a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) metallic component with features smaller than 10 µm and high thermal conductivity was investigated, and both cold and hot embossing was performed on coarse-grained and UFG Al-1050.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pyramidal micro-mirrors for microsystems and atom chips
Michael Trupke,F. Ramirez-Martinez,E. A. Curtis,J. P. Ashmore,Stefan Eriksson,E. A. Hinds,Zakaria Moktadir,Carsten O. Gollasch,Michael Kraft,G. Vijaya Prakash,J. J. Baumberg +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, a pyramid of concave pyramids is created in the (100) surface of a silicon wafer by anisotropic etching in potassium hydroxide and high quality micro-mirrors are then formed by sputtering gold onto the smooth silicon (111) faces of the pyramid.
