Classically coherent dynamics analogous to those of quantum two-level systems are studied in the setting of force sensing. We demonstrate quantitative control over the coupling between two orthogonal mechanical modes of a nanowire cantilever, through measurement of avoided crossings as we deterministically position the nanowire inside an electric field. Furthermore, we demonstrate Rabi oscillations between the two mechanical modes in the strong coupling regime. These results give prospects of implementing coherent two-mode control techniques for force sensing signal enhancement.

We demonstrate the use of individual magnetic nanowires (NWs), grown by focused electron beam induced deposition (FEBID), as scanning magnetic force sensors. Measurements of their mechanical susceptibility, thermal motion, and magnetic response show that the NWs posses high-quality flexural mechanical modes and a strong remanent magnetization pointing along their long axis. Together, these properties make the NWs excellent sensors of weak magnetic field patterns, as confirmed by calibration measurements on a micron-sized current-carrying wire and magnetic scanning probe images of a permalloy disk. The flexibility of FEBID in terms of the composition, geometry, and growth location of the resulting NWs, makes it ideal for fabricating scanning probes specifically designed for imaging subtle patterns of magnetization or current density.
Enhanced photocurrent is demonstrated in a junction-less photodetector with nanowires embedded in its channel. The fabricated photodetector consists of a large area for efficient absorption of incident light with energy band engineering achieved in n anowires. The structure design consists of a set of two symmetrically positioned gates, primary and secondary, that are located over the nanowires. Each gate is used for biasing and control of the charge flow. We find that detectors with narrower nanowires controlled by their secondary gate generate larger photocurrents under similar illumination conditions. Our results show that while the dark current remains the same, the photocurrent increases as the nanowire width decreases.

Nanometer-scale structures with high aspect ratio such as nanowires and nanotubes combine low mechanical dissipation with high resonance frequencies, making them ideal force transducers and scanning probes in applications requiring the highest sensit ivity. Such structures promise record force sensitivities combined with ease of use in scanning probe microscopes. A wide variety of possible material compositions and functionalizations is available, allowing for the sensing of various kinds of forces with optimized sensitivity. In addition, nanowires possess quasi-degenerate mechanical mode doublets, which has allowed the demonstration of sensitive vectorial force and mass detection. These developments have driven researchers to use nanowire cantilevers in various force sensing applications, which include imaging of sample surface topography, detection of optomechanical, electrical, and magnetic forces, and magnetic resonance force microscopy. In this review, we discuss the motivation behind using nanowires as force transducers, explain the methods of force sensing with nanowire cantilevers, and give an overview of the experimental progress and future prospects of the field.
We present a scanning magnetic force sensor based on an individual magnet-tipped GaAs nanowire (NW) grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Its magnetic tip consists of a final segment of single-crystal MnAs formed by sequential crystallization of the liqui d Ga catalyst droplet. We characterize the mechanical and magnetic properties of such NWs by measuring their flexural mechanical response in an applied magnetic field. Comparison with numerical simulations allows the identification of their equilibrium magnetization configurations, which in some cases include magnetic vortices. To determine a NWs performance as a magnetic scanning probe, we measure its response to the field profile of a lithographically patterned current-carrying wire. The NWs tiny tips and their high force sensitivity make them promising for imaging weak magnetic field patterns on the nanometer-scale, as required for mapping mesoscopic transport and spin textures or in nanometer-scale magnetic resonance.
A linear triple quantum dot (TQD) integrated with a quantum dot (QD) charge sensor is realized. The TQD and the charge sensor are built from two adjacent InAs nanowires by fine finger gate technique. The charge state configurations of the nanowire TQ D are studied by measurements of the direct transport signals of the TQD and by detection of the charge state transitions in the TQD via the nanowire QD sensor. Excellent agreements in the charge stability diagrams of the TQD obtained by the direct transport measurements and by the charge-state transition detection measurements are achieved. It is shown that the charge stability diagrams are featured by three groups of charge state transition lines of different slopes, corresponding to the changes in the electron occupation numbers of the three individual QDs in the TQD. It is also shown that the integrated nanowire QD sensor is highly sensitive and can detect the charge state transitions in the cases where the direct transport signals of the TQD are too weak to be measurable. Tuning to a regime, where all the three QDs in the TQD are close to be on resonance with the Fermi level of the source and drain reservoirs and co-existence of triple and quadruple points becomes possible, has also been demonstrated with the help of the charge sensor in the region where the direct transport signals of the TQD are hardly visible.
