Metallic coatings of microelectromechanical structures at low temperatures: Stress, elasticity, and nonlinear dissipation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We present mechanical measurements performed at low temperatures on cantilever-based microelectromechanical structures coated with a metallic layer. Two very different coatings are presented in order to illustrate the capabilities of the present approach, namely (soft) aluminum and (hard) niobium oxide. The temperature is used as a control parameter to access materials properties. We benefit from low temperature techniques to extract a phase-resolved measurement of the first mechanical resonance mode in cryogenic vacuum. By repeating the experiment on the same samples, after multiple metallic depositions, we can determine accurately the contribution of the coating layers to the mechanical properties in terms of surface stress, additional mass, additional elasticity, and damping. Analytic theoretical expressions are derived and used to fit the data. Taking advantage of the extremely broad dynamic range provided by the technique, we can measure the anelasticity of the thin metallic film. The key parameters describing the metals’ dynamics are analyzed in an original way in order to provide new experimental grounds for future theoretical modelings of the underlying mechanisms.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
