Quantum Signature of a Squeezed Mechanical Oscillator

MEMS Optomechanical Oscillators, Publications / By

Recent optomechanical experiments have observed nonclassical properties in macroscopic mechanical oscillators. A key indicator of such properties is the asymmetry in the strength of the motional sidebands produced in the probe electromagnetic field, which is originated by the noncommutativity between the oscillator ladder operators. Here we extend the analysis to a squeezed state of an …

An all-in-one nanoreactor for high-resolution microscopy on nanomaterials at high pressures

MEMS Nanoreactors, Publications / By

We present a new MEMS nanoreactor fully integrated on a single die. It enables atomic-scale imaging of nanostructured materials under the high pressures and temperatures that are typical for many industrial applications (14 bar and 660°C). The reactor can therefore be used to study the behavior of e.g. catalysts in a transmission electron microscope (TEM). …
