Cataloged from PDF version of article.Thesis (M.S.): Bilkent University, Department of Mechanical Engineering, İhsan Doğramacı Bilkent University, 2018.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 55-62).Buckling is an important resource for memory and sensing applications at the
micro- and nano-scale. Although di erent approaches have been developed to
access buckling, such as the use of pre-stressed beams or thermal heating, none
of them can dynamically and precisely control the critical bifurcation parameter
|the compressive stress on the nanobeam| while keeping the heat generation
and power dissipation at levels acceptable for real-life applications. Here, we
develop an all-electrostatic architecture to control the compressive force, as well
as the direction and amount of buckling, without heat generation. The devices,
consisting of contact pads, comb-drive and beam, have been fabricated on Silicon
on Insulator (SOI) chip by using micro-/nano-fabrication techniques. With
this architecture, we demonstrated fundamental aspects of device function and
dynamics. By applying signal voltages as low as 0.5 V, we controlled the direction
of buckling to store binary information. Lateral de
ections as large as
12% of the beam length were achieved, allowing nanomechanical manipulations
at large deformations. We performed fatigue tests on the device which showed no
discernible damage even after 10,000 buckling cycles. By modulating the compressive
stress and lateral electrostatic force acting on the beam, we tuned the
potential energy barrier between the post-bifurcation stable states and observed
persistent transitions between the states. The proposed architecture, in this work,
opens avenues for developing DC-controlled multibit nanomechanical logic gates,
nano-manipulators, switches, and for studying the relationship between entropy
and information.by Selçuk Oğuz Erbil.M.S
