一种由横向Casimir力驱动的受抑纳米机械装置
A frustrated nanomechanical device powered by the lateral Casimir force
摘要：
利用横向Casimir力引起的波纹表面间的耦合，提出了一种由两个齿条和一个小齿轮组成的纳米级机械装置。相互作用的非接触性质允许通过选择两个齿条沿相同方向移动并迫使小齿轮在两个相反方向之间选择来使系统受挫。这导致丰富和敏感的相位行为，这使得该器件可能用作机械{ \em传感器}或{ \em放大器}。该器件还可用于产生频率可调的机械{ \em时钟}信号。
英文摘要：
The coupling between corrugated surfaces due to the lateral Casimir force is employed to propose a nanoscale mechanical device composed of two racks and a pinion. The noncontact nature of the interaction allows for the system to be made frustrated by choosing the two racks to move in the same direction and forcing the pinion to choose between two opposite directions. This leads to a rich and sensitive phase behavior, which makes the device potentially useful as a mechanical {\em sensor} or {\em amplifier}. The device could also be used to make a mechanical {\em clock} signal of tunable frequency.
