Thermoelastic properties of micron-size actuators based on the NiCu/Pt composite with shape-memory effect

Thermomechanical properties of microactuators with shape-memory effect (SME) based on the [Ti.sub.2]NiCu/Pt layered composite are analyzed. Atomic-force microscopy is used to experimentally determine rigidity of the composite microactuators that represent cantilevers with sizes of 50 x 2 x 1 [micro]...

Description
Summary:Thermomechanical properties of microactuators with shape-memory effect (SME) based on the [Ti.sub.2]NiCu/Pt layered composite are analyzed. Atomic-force microscopy is used to experimentally determine rigidity of the composite microactuators that represent cantilevers with sizes of 50 x 2 x 1 [micro]m and a thickness of the SME active alloy layer of 0.5 [micro]m in a temperature interval of 20 - 100[degrees]C. Forces that are exerted by the composite actuator on a microscopic object are quantitatively estimated. The experimental data are in reasonable agreement with the calculated results.
