Nanomechanical Resonator Self-Assembled from Nanoparticles

The self-assembly of nanoscale structures from functional nanoparticles has provided a powerful path to developing devices with emergent properties from the bottom up. Users from the University of Chicago, together with researchers from the University of Melbourne and CNM's Electronic & Magnetic Materials & Devices Group, demonstrate that free-standing sheets self-assembled from various nanoparticles form versatile nanomechanical resonators in the MHz frequency range.
