Halving the Casimir force with conductive oxides (2009)
De Man, S., Heeck, K., Wijngaarden, R. J., Iannuzzi, D.
The possibility to tailor the Casimir force by properly choosing the materials deposited on the interacting surfaces is currently regarded as an unprecedented opportunity in the development of Micro-...
No anomalous scaling in electrostatic calibrations for Casimir force measurements (2008)
De Man, S., Heeck, K., Iannuzzi, D.
In a recent paper (Phys.Rev.A78, 020101(R) (2008)), Kim at al. have reported a large anomaly in the scaling law of the electrostatic interaction between a sphere and a plate, which was observed...
Spectrogram analysis of animal sound production (2008)
Elemans, C.P.H., Heeck, K., Muller, M.
Spectrograms visualise the time-frequency content of a signal. They are commonly used to analyse animal vocalisations. Here, we analyse how far we can deduce the mechanical origin of sound generation...
Fibre-top cantilevers: design, fabrication and applications (2007)
Iannuzzi, D., Heeck, K., Slaman, M., Man De, S., Rector, J.H., Schreuders, H., ...
Fibre-top cantilevers are a new generation of miniaturized devices obtained by carving tiny mechanical beams directly on the cleaved edge of an optical fibre. The light coupled from the other side of...
Fiber-top atomic force microscope (2006)
Iannuzzi, D., Deladi, S., Berenschot, J.W., De Man, S., Heeck, K., Elwenspoek, M.C.
We present the implementation of an atomic force microscope (AFM) based on fiber-top design. Our results demonstrate that the performances of fiber-top AFMs in contact mode are comparable to those of...
