Instabilities in nanoporous media.

Rayleigh instabilities in thin polymer films confined within nanoporous alumina membranes were studied. Thin films of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) were prepared by filling cylindrical nanopores in an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane with a PMMA solution in chloroform followed by solvent evaporation. When the PMMA nanotubes were annealed above the glass transition temperature (Tg), undulations in the film thickness were observed that were induced by a Rayleigh instability. The amplitude of the undulations increased with time and eventually bridged across the cylindrical nanopore in the AAO membrane, resulting in the formation of polymer nanorods with periodic encapsulated holes. A similar behavior was observed when PMMA films were confined within carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The Rayleigh instabilities in these confined geometries offer a novel means of controlling and fabricating the polymer nanostructures. These compartmentalized nanorods may have potential applications as delivery devices.

Efficient and sensitive capacitive readout of nanomechanical resonator arrays.

Here we describe all-electronic broadband motion detection in radio frequency nanomechanical resonators. Our technique relies upon the measurement of small motional capacitance changes using an LC impedance transformation network. We first demonstrate the technique on a single doubly clamped beam resonator with a side gate over a wide range of temperatures from 20 mK to 300 K. We then apply the technique to accomplish multiplexed readout of an array of individually addressable resonators, all embedded in a single high-frequency circuit. This technique may find use in a variety of applications ranging from ultrasensitive mass and force sensing to quantum information processing.
