Diamagnetic levitation offers stable confinement of an object from its environment at zero power, and thus is a promising technique for developing next generation unclamped resonant sensors. In this work, we realize a resonant weighing scale using a graphite plate that is diamagnetically levitating over a checkerboard arrangement of permanent magnets. We characterize the bending vibrations of the levitating object using laser Doppler vibrometry and use microgram glass beads to calibrate the responsivity of the sensors resonance frequency to mass changes. The sensor is used for real-time measurement of the evaporation rate of nano-litre droplets with high-accuracy. By analyzing the resonators frequency stability, we show that the millimeter graphite sensor can reach mass resolutions down to 4.0ng, relevant to biological and chemical sensing concepts.

We consider theoretically the energy loss of electrons scattered to high angles when assuming that the primary beam can be limited to a single atom. We discuss the possibility of identifying the isotopes of light elements and of extracting informatio n about phonons in this signal. The energy loss is related to the mass of the much heavier nucleus, and is spread out due to atomic vibrations. Importantly, while the width of the broadening is much larger than the energy separation of isotopes, only the shift in the peak positions must be detected if the beam is limited to a single atom. We conclude that the experimental case will be challenging but is not excluded by the physical principles as far as considered here. Moreover, the initial experiments demonstrate the separation of gold and carbon based on a signal that is related to their mass, rather than their atomic number.
To account for the dark matter content in our Universe, post-inflationary scenarios predict for the QCD axion a mass in the range $(10-10^3),mumbox{eV}$. Searches with haloscope experiments in this mass range require the monitoring of resonant cavity modes with frequency above 5,GHz, where several experimental limitations occur due to linear amplifiers, small volumes, and low quality factors of Cu resonant cavities. In this paper we deal with the last issue, presenting the result of a search for galactic axions using a haloscope based on a $36,mbox{cm}^3$ NbTi superconducting cavity. The cavity worked at $T=4,mbox{K}$ in a 2,T magnetic field and exhibited a quality factor $Q_0= 4.5times10^5$ for the TM010 mode at 9,GHz. With such values of $Q$ the axion signal is significantly increased with respect to copper cavity haloscopes. Operating this setup we set the limit $g_{agammagamma}<1.03times10^{-12},mbox{GeV}^{-1}$ on the axion photon coupling for a mass of about 37,$mu$eV. A comprehensive study of the NbTi cavity at different magnetic fields, temperatures, and frequencies is also presented.
The haloscope is one of the most sensitive approaches to the QCD axion physics within the region where the axion is considered to be a dark matter candidate. Current experimental sensitivities, which rely on the lowest fundamental TM010 mode of a cyl indrical cavity, are limited to relatively low mass regions. Exploiting higher-order resonant modes would be beneficial because it will enable us to extend the search range with no volume loss and higher quality factors. This approach has been discarded mainly because of the significant degradation of form factor, and difficulty with frequency tuning. Here we introduce a new tuning mechanism concept which both enhances the form factor and yields reasonable frequency tunability. A proof of concept demonstration verified that this design is feasible for high mass axion search experiments.
We present the design and characterisation of a low-noise, resonant input transimpedance amplified photodetector. The device operates at a resonance frequency of $90 ,textrm{MHz}$ and exhibits an input referred current noise of $1.2,textrm{pA}/sqrt{t extrm{Hz}}$---marginally above the the theoretical limit of $1.0,textrm{pA}/sqrt{textrm{Hz}}$ set by the room temperature Johnson noise of the detectors $16,textrm{k}Omega$ transimpedance. As a result, the photodetector allows for shot-noise limited operation for input powers exceeding $14,mutextrm{W}$ at $461,textrm{nm}$ corresponding to a noise equivalent power of $3.5,textrm{pW}/sqrt{textrm{Hz}}$. The key design feature which enables this performance is a low-noise, common-source JFET amplifier at the input which helps to reduce the input referred noise contribution of the following amplification stages.
The instrumental layout and technical realisation of the neutron resonant spin echo (NRSE) spectrometer RESEDA at the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ) in Garching, Germany, is presented. RESEDA is based on a longitudinal field configuration, boosti ng both dynamic range and maximum resolution of the spectrometer compared to the conventional transverse layout. The resonant neutron spin echo technique enables the realisation of two complementary implementations: A longitudinal NRSE (LNRSE) option comparable to the classical neutron spin echo (NSE) method for highest energy resolution and large momentum transfers as well as a Modulation of Intensity with Zero Effort (MIEZE) option for depolarising samples or sample environments such as high magnetic fields, and strong incoherent scattering samples. With their outstanding dynamic range, exceeding nominally seven orders of magnitude, both options cover new fields for ultra-high resolution neutron spectroscopy in hard and soft condensed matter systems. In this paper the concept of RESEDA as well as the technical realisation along with reference measurements are reported.
