HI, Tim:

Some useful papers discussing NEMS are as follows. Hope they can start your
route to do literature survey.

2000, pp. 1532-1535.

materials, Science, vol. 290, 24 Nov 2000, pp. 1536-1539.

Actuator Workshop, Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, June 4-8, 2000, pp.
367-376.

Subject: [mems-talk] NEMS oscillators


Deal all,

Moving from MEMs to NEMs (from Micro to Nano, or at least sub 100 micron) it
would seem that moving to smaller sizes would result more sensitivity for
sensors, higher frequency operation for oscillators, less power dissipation,
less dissipative effects (higher Q factor). I am aware that there is some
activity on developing high frequency mechanical oscillators, with strong
applications in communication technology, but could anyone point me in the
direction of who is doing the work?

Any general comments on moving from MEMs to NEMS would also be appreciated.

Regards

Tim
