Investigation of the Effect of Spin Crossover on the Static and Dynamic Properties of MEMS Microcantilevers Coated with Nanocomposite Films of [Fe(Htrz)2(trz)](BF4)@P(VDF-TrFE)

TLDR
In this article, a spray-coating process was used to cover silicon microcantilevers with ca. 33 wt% [Fe(Htrz)2(trz)](BF4)@P(VDF70-TrFE30) nanocomposite thin films of 1500 nm thickness.
Abstract
We used a spray-coating process to cover silicon microcantilevers with ca. 33 wt% [Fe(Htrz)2(trz)](BF4)@P(VDF70-TrFE30) nanocomposite thin films of 1500 nm thickness. The bilayer cantilevers were then used to investigate the thermomechanical properties of the composites through a combined static and dynamic flexural analysis. The out-of-plane flexural resonance frequencies were used to assess the Young’s modulus of the spray-coated films (3.2 GPa). Then, the quasi-static flexural bending data allowed us to extract the actuation strain (1.3%) and an actuation stress (7.7 MPa) associated with the spin transition in the composite.

The Tension of Metallic Films Deposited by Electrolysis

TL;DR: It is well known that metallic films deposited electrolytically are in many cases liable to peel off if deposited to any considerable thickness as discussed by the authors, especially if it does not adhere very tightly to the body on which it is deposited.

Spin-crossover materials : properties and applications

Abstract: The phenomenon of spin-crossover has a large impact on the physical properties of a solid material, including its colour, magnetic moment, and electrical resistance. Some materials also show a structural phase change during the transition. Several practical applications of spin-crossover materials have been demonstrated including display and memory devices, electrical and electroluminescent devices, and MRI contrast agents. Switchable liquid crystals, nanoparticles, and thin films of spin-crossover materials have also been achieved.
