Fabrication of fluid-compatible trilayer cantilevers with integrated piezoelectric actuators

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Georg Fantner, Matthias Neuenschwander, Damien Maillard, Nahid Hosseini, Mustafa Kangül

Microcantilevers are popular transducers thanks to their simple design and a high sensitivity. In many applications, the cantilevers need to be actuated, either to induce a controlled deflection or to excite the resonance. This can be achieved with integra ...

Data-Driven Feedforward Hysteresis Compensation with Genetic Algorithm for Atomic Force Microscope

Alireza Karimi, Santiago Harald Andany, Georg Fantner, Mustafa Kangül, Navid Asmari Saadabad

Nonlinear dynamics of piezo actuators such as hysteresis, distort the Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) images as they adversely affect the accuracy of the nano-positioning setup. To compensate for the effects of hysteresis on lateral scanner actuators of AFM, ...

A second harmonic based resonance characterization method for MEMS electrostatic resonators

Ozge Zorlu, Mustafa Kangül, Furkan Gökçe, Eren Aydin

This paper presents a novel read-out approach both for eliminating parasitic feedthrough current and for enhancing the quality-factor (Q) of the resonating system at the same time. A new resonance characterization method based on sensing second harmonic co ...
