In this paper, we innovatively utilize a phononic metamaterial (PM) operated at whispering-gallery modes (WGMs) as the vehicle for the Coriolis effect rather than SAW itself. The gyroscopic effects of this PM are investigated, and a new SAW gyroscope is subsequently proposed based on the slow SAW in PM. We show, combining theoretical modeling and finite element method simulation, that the rate of rotation can linearly induce the splitting of WGMs and modulate the phase velocity of SAW down to 4600 m/s (initial phase velocity of 5355 m/s); the direction of rotation results in the chiral symmetry of the PM vibration and the asymmetric distribution of the transmissive SAW. Besides, the proposed SAW gyroscope measures the angular velocity by detecting the phase shift resulting from rotation-dependent slow SAW in PM, obtaining a sensitivity of 0.016 deg/Hz when 50-cell PM. Compared with the existing SAW gyroscopes based on phase velocity modulation, the gyroscopic gain factor in this paper is enhanced by 430-1600 times.

The rib structures were optimized to reduce the membrane mass while maintaining the stiffness; therefore, the center frequency could be increased to improve the low-frequency bandwidth of microphones. Additionally, this methodology could reduce the modulus and improve the sensitivity for the same resonant frequency, which typically indicates the maximum acoustic overload point (AOP). The PZT film was chosen because of its greater density; the simulation results showed that PZT could provide a greater frequency tuning (24.9%) compared to that of the AlN film (5.8%), and its large dielectric constant enabled the optimal design to have small electrodes at the maximum stress location while mitigating the sacrificial capacitance effect on electrical gain. An analytical model of rib-structure microphones was established and greatly reduced the computing time. The experimental results of the impedance tests revealed that the center frequencies of the six microphones shifted from 74.6 kHz to 106.3 kHz with rib-structure inner radii ranging from 0 μm to 340 μm; this result was in good agreement with the those of the analytical analysis and finite element modeling. While the center frequency greatly varied, the measured sensitivities at 1 kHz only varied within a small range from 22.3 mV/Pa to 25.7 mV/Pa; thus, the membrane stiffness minimally changed. Moreover, a single-crystal PZT film with a (100) crystal orientation and 0.24-degree full width at half maximum (FWHM) was used to enable differential sensing and a low possibility of undesirable polarization. Paired with a two-stage differential charge amplifier, a differential sensing microphone was experimentally demonstrated to improve the sensitivity from 25.7 mV/Pa to 36.1 mV/Pa and reduce the noise from -68.2 dBV to -82.8 dBV.</p>","PeriodicalId":18560,"journal":{"name":"Microsystems & Nanoengineering","volume":"10 1","pages":"167"},"PeriodicalIF":7.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11549332/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142623798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The WHO declared a pandemic due to the rapid spread of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus, and the fight against this pandemic is not over yet. Important reasons for virus spread include the lack of detection kits, appropriate detection techniques, delay in detection, asymptomatic cases and failure in mass screening. In the last 3 years, several researchers and medical companies have introduced successful test kits to detect the infection of symptomatic patients in real time, which was necessary to monitor the spread. However, it is also important to have information on asymptomatic cases, which can be obtained by antibody testing for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In this work, we developed a simple, advantageous immobilization procedure for rapidly detecting the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. Carbon-MEMS-derived glassy carbon (GC) is used as the sensor electrode, and the detection is based on covalently linking the SARS-CoV-2 antibody to the GC surface. Glutaraldehyde was used as a cross-linker between the antibody and glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The binding was investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) characterization and cyclic voltammetric (CV) analysis. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was utilized to measure the change in total impedance before and after incubation of the SARS-CoV-2 antibody with various concentrations of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. The developed sensor can sense 1 fg/ml to 1 µg/ml SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. This detection is label-free, and the chances of false positives are minimal.

Nanoforming and nanodepositing methods for polyacrylonitrile-based jet fibers as precursors of carbon fibers are proposed for the processing design of electrostatic jet initiation and for the forming design of submicron-to-nanoscale PAN-based fibers by establishing and analyzing mathematical models that include the diameter and tensile stress values of jet fibers and the electric field intensity values on the surfaces of carbon micropillars. In accordance with these methods, an array of jet fibers with diameters of ~80 nm is experimentally formed based on the thinning of the electrospinning fluid on top of a dispensing needle, the poking of drum into an electrospinning droplet, and the controlling of the needle-drum distance. When converting thin PAN-based jet fibers to carbon fibers, a pyrolysis method consisting of the suspension of jet nanofibers between carbon micropillars, the bond between the fibers and the surface of the carbon micropillar, and the control of micropillar spacing, stabilization temperature, and carbonation rate is presented to maximize the shrinkage from PAN-based fibers to carbon fibers and to form sub-10 nm carbon fiber arrays between three-dimensional carbon micropillars. The manufacturing design of a three-dimensional micro/nanocarbon structure can produce thin PAN-based jet nanofibers and nanofiber arrays aligned on micropillar surfaces, obtain shrinkage levels reaching 96% and incorporate sub-10 nm carbon fibers into three-dimensional carbon micropillars; these actions provide new research opportunities for correlated three-dimensional micro/nanocarbon structures that have not previously been technically possible.</p>","PeriodicalId":18560,"journal":{"name":"Microsystems & Nanoengineering","volume":"9 ","pages":"132"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10579398/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49679520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
