We present a design for a piezoelectric-driven uniaxial stress cell suitable for use at ambient and cryogenic temperatures, and that incorporates both a displacement and a force sensor. The cell has a diameter of 46 mm and a height of 13 mm. It can apply a zero-load displacement of up to ~45 $mu$m, and a zero-displacement force of up to ~245 N. With combined knowledge of the displacement and force applied to the sample, it can quickly be determined whether the sample and its mounts remain within their elastic limits. In tests on the oxide metal Sr$_2$RuO$_4$, we found that at room temperature serious plastic deformation of the sample onset at a uniaxial stress of ~0.2 GPa, while at 5 K the sample deformation remained elastic up to almost 2 GPa. This result highlights the usefulness of in situ tuning, in which the force can be applied after cooling samples to cryogenic temperatures.
We present a piezoelectric-driven uniaxial pressure cell that is optimized for muon spin relaxation and neutron scattering experiments, and that is operable over a wide temperature range including cryogenic temperatures. To accommodate the large samp
The field of optical metrology with its high precision position, rotation and wavefront sensors represents the basis for lithography and high resolution microscopy. However, the on-chip integration - a task highly relevant for future nanotechnologica
We realize squeeze film pressure sensors using suspended, high mechanical quality silicon nitride membranes forming few-micron gap sandwiches. The effects of air pressure on the mechanical vibrations of the membranes are investigated in the range 10^
The high flexibility, impermeability and strength of graphene membranes are key properties that can enable the next generation of nanomechanical sensors. However, for capacitive pressure sensors the sensitivity offered by a single suspended graphene
The thin film configuration presents obvious practical advantages over the 1D implementation in energy harvesting systems such as easily manufacturing and processing and long lasting and stable devices. However, most of the ZnO-based piezoelectric na
