BPNX1057: Micromechanical Resonator Aging Rate Reduction (New Project)

This project aims to demonstrate superior aging-resistance for micromechanical resonators via methods that remove or immobilize defects and other non-idealities towards a lower material energy state. One such method to be explored is localized annealing, whereby fast, high-temperature Joule heating at the micron scale provides a method for tailoring the morphology of a resonator's structural material.
