이 발표에서 우리는 수백 나노미터 크기인 두 개의 나노 금속 원반 또는 나노 블록이 백 나노미터 이하의 간격으로 결합된 초미세 이중 금속 플라즈몬 광공진기를 제안하고 그 응용을 살펴본다. 원반구조 경우, 반지름이 476 nm인 나노원반 두 개가 100 nm 두께의 유전체 원반의 양쪽에 위치하여 1550 nm 공진파장을 가진 표면 플라즈몬 whispering-gallery-mode (WGM)을 유전체 내에 형성한다. 유전체의 두께를 일정하게 유지할 경우, WGM의 공진파장은 원반의 반지름에 따라 줄어든다. 반면, 반지름이 일정할 때에는 두 금속 원반 사이의 유전체 두께가 줄어듦에 따라 두 금속 원반 사이에 작용하는 표면 플라즈몬의 결합이 강해져서 공진파장이 길어진다. 따라서, 일반적으로 공진기의 크기가 줄어듦에 따라 공진파장이 짧아지는 것과 달리, 제안된 원반구조에서 발생하는 WGM는 원반의 반지름과 유전체의 두께를 함께 줄여도 공진파장이 동일하게 유지되는 차별화된 특성을 가지고 있다. 최종적으로 같은 공진파장을 가지는 WGM를 반지름 88 m, 유전체 두께 10 nm의 공진기에서도 여기시킬 수 있음으로, 모드부피(V)를 1/160으로 줄일 수 있다. 이에 비해, 공진모드의 품위값(Q)은 증가된 금속의 흡수손실에 의해 1/3정도 줄어듦으로써, 공진기와 물질의 상호작용 정도를 보여주는 Q/V값은 크기가 줄어든 공진기에서 오히려 50배 가량 증가함을 확인할 수 있다. 이 같은 초미세 플라즈몬 공진기는 매우 작은 굴절율 센서로서 응용을 가지고 있으며, 1160 nm/(단위 굴절율 변화)의 높은 민감도를 보인다. 한편, $200{\times}150{\times}100nm3$의 크기를 가진 두 개의 금속 나노블록이 10 nm의 공기 간격을 가지고 결합된 나노 공진기는, 공기 간격 내에 강하게 집적된 838 nm의 공진파장을 가진 플라즈몬 공진기 모드를 여기시킨다. 제안된 공진모드는 공기간격이 줄어듦에 따라 공진파장이 급격하게 증가하는 특성을 가지므로 옹스토롬 정도의 분해능을 가진 두께 변화 센서로 응용할 수 있다. 예를 들어, 공기간격 2 nm에서는 1A 두께 변화에 대해 공진파장 변화는 약 40 nm로 매우 민감하게 변화한다.

For a double-walled carbon nanotube resonator with a short outer nanotube, the free edge of the short outer wall plays an important role in the vibration of the long inner nanotube. For a double-walled carbon nanotube resonator with a short inner nanotube, the short inner nanotube can be considered as a flexible core, thus, the fundamental frequency is influenced by its length. In this paper, we analysis frequency variation in ultrahigh frequency nanomechanical resonators based on double-walled carbon nanotubes with different wall length. This results will widely apply to the realization of frequency devices controlling the length of the inner or outer nanotube.

In this paper, we have investigated ultrahigh frequency nano-mechanical resonators, made of DWCNTs with various wall lengths, via classical molecular dynamics simulations. We have aimed our analysis on the frequency variations of these resonators with the DWCNT wall lengths. The results show that the variations can be well fitted by either the Pearson VII function when the resonant frequency of normalized by its maximum frequency is plotted as a function of the inner/outer wall length ratio L5/L10 for different values of the outer wall length L10, and the Gauss distribution function when the resonant frequency of normalized by its maximum frequency is plotted as a function of the outer/inner wall length ratio for different values of the inner wall length.

A single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) has been studied as a material of Nano-Eletro-Mechanical-System (NEMS) device together with various nanowires. In order for oscillation of a multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) or a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) on plane surface, it needs suspension of a CNT across trench electrodes. So we propose fabrication method of a MWCNT resonator using dielectrophoresis and show successful results of suspeneded MWNT. Thin electrodes with large gaps could not suspend small diameter MWNT but thicker electrodes could. Thin MWNT could be suspended only when the electrode gap was reduced.

This paper predicted nonlinear dynamic responses of a cantilevered carbon nanotube(CNT) resonator incorporating the electrostatic forces and van der Waals interactions between the CNT cantilever and ground plane. The structural model of CNT includes geometric and inertial nonlinearities to investigate various phenomena of nonlinear responses of the CNT due to the electrostatic excitation. In order to solve this problem, we used Galerkin's approximation and the numerical integration techniques. As a result, the CNT nano-resonator shows the softening effect through saddle-node bifurcation near primary resonance frequency with increasing the applied AC and DC voltages. Also we can predict nonlinear secondary resonances such as superharmonic and subharmonic resonances. The superharmonic resonance of the nano-resonator is influenced by applied AC voltage. The period-doubling bifurcation leads to the subharmonic resonance which occurs when the nano-resonator is actuated by electrostatic forces as parametric excitation.

This paper predicted the dynamic behaviors of a cantilevered carbon nanotube(CNT) incorporating the electrostatic force, van der Waals interactions between the CNT and ground plane. The structural model of the CNT includes geometric and inertial nonlinearities for predicting various phenomena of nonlinear responses of the CNT due to the electrostatic force. In order to solve the problem, we used Galerkin's approximation and the numerical integration techniques and as a result, we predicted characteristics of nonlinear response of nano resonator. The cantilevered CNT shows complex dynamic responses and instabilities due to the applied ac and ac voltages, and driving frequencies. The results investigated in this paper are helpful to the modeling of nanotube based electromechanical devices such as nano-resonators and nano-sensors.

The wireless charging of body-embedded medical instruments and wireless power transfer to various inside dielectric-materials is still a future technology that has not yet been achieved. This paper proposes methods for controlling the capacitance of the resonators and installing air pockets on the top and bottom sides of the resonators for optimal design, which considered efficiency and resonant frequency in accordance with the electromagnetic characteristics of the dielectric medium. In future, the results of this research will be utilized as the basic research data to design and restore resonant frequency of resonators embedded in various dielectric environments.

Natural frequency of a nano-resonator via nano transfer printing is studied. Through a nano transfer printing, the hybrid metal/polymer membrane may evolve a wrinkle. Natural frequency of a wrinkled hybrid membrane decreases significantly, as the amplitude to wavelength ratio becomes larger. To address the design limit of a hybrid nano resonator, we perform parametric study using finite element analysis. Specifically, we study the effects of the Young's modulus ratio of the metal/polymer membrane, thickness ratio and wrinkle amplitude to wavelength ratio, respectively. The results from the parametric studies can serve as guideline to design hybrid nano resonators.

We have developed the detection method of the resonance frequency of micro/nano mechanical resonator using optical method. The optical interferometery method enabled us to detect the displacement change of resonators within several nm scale. The micro mechanical resonator was produced by attaching a micro mechanical cantilever to a piezo ceramic. The mass of cantilever was increased by evaporating Au using electron beam evaporator and the mass variation was estimated by detecting the resonance frequency changes.
