They h ave not only directly led to the realization of numerous sensors\, actuato rs\, and communication devices in semiconductor industry\, but also tremen dously facilitated advances in transducers and precision instruments in ex ploratory research and cutting-edge metrology. When combined with advanced materials\, such as SiC\, GaN\, other related materials\, and their heter ostructures\, MEMS/NEMS transducers are also highly attractive for applica tions at high temperature\, and in harsh and even extreme environments\, i ncluding exposure to various radiation conditions. In this presentation\, I will introduce the fundamentals of radiation effects on solid-state micr o/nanomechanical structures\, and the important experimental techniques fo r probing and quantifying such effects. I will then focus on discussing ou r multidisciplinary team’s collaborative research thrusts (with the ISDE at Vanderbilt University and other collaborators) and recent progress on studying radiation effects of gamma-ray\, X-ray\, protons\, and energetic heavy ions upon various MEMS/NEMS transducers\, including switches and mul timode resonators with different geometries and dimensions\, and including devices made of Si\, SiC\, GaN\, Ga2O3\, and 2D semiconductors. Finally\, based on the findings\, we shall discuss challenges\, opportunities\, and future perspectives of advancing MEMS/NEMS for emerging applications in s pace and other radiation environments.\n\nCo-sponsored by: CH02167- Northe rn Virginia/Washington Nanotechnology Council\, NANO42\n\nSpeaker(s): Prof .
