Rapid progress in material science and nanotechnology has led to the development of the
shape memory alloys (SMA) and the shape memory polymers (SMP) based functional …

Thickness dramatically affects the functionality of coatings. Accordingly, the techniques in
use to determine the thickness are of utmost importance for coatings research and …

We propose a mass sensing scheme in which amplitude shifts within a nonlinear ultra-wide
broadband resonance serve as indicators for mass detection. To achieve the broad …

A series of Cu-W films with the W content higher than 17.2 at% were prepared by magnetron
sputtering focused co-deposition technology. The micro-structures and nanoidentation …

This article provides a review of methods of predicting mass-induced resonance shifts in
microcantilevers. It combines a review of factors that influence resonance frequency shifts …

By measuring the resonant frequencies of the first two symmetric vibration modes of a
circular thin-film diaphragm and solving the Rayleigh-Ritz equation analytically, the residual …

The tempering process strengthens the bending strength and impact strength of the glass,
but it alters the elastic modulus of glass as well. Aim of this study is to investigate the …

A simple criterion was developed to assess the appropriateness of the currently available
models that estimate the static friction force between nanowires and substrates using …

Single-crystal tungsten nanobelts with thicknesses from tens to hundreds of nanometers,
widths of several micrometers and lengths of tens of micrometers were synthesized using …

By detecting the resonant frequency shift caused by an attached particle before and after film
deposition, the Young's modulus and either mass density or thickness of a patterned thin film …
