The use of VO 2 thin films as the active element in micromanipulators of multiple degrees of freedom is studied. It is shown that the insulator-to-metal transition of VO 2, which occurs at …
This work presents the development of a tunable micro-mechanical resonator capable of reaching resonant frequency shifts of 23%. The resonator consists of a simple SiO 2 bridge …
