RT Journal Article T1 High quality factor indium oxide mechanical microresonators A1 Bartolomé Vílchez, Javier A1 Cremades Rodríguez, Ana Isabel A1 Piqueras de Noriega, Javier AB The mechanical resonance behavior of as-grown In_2O_3 microrods has been studied in this work by in-situ scanning electron microscopy (SEM) electrically induced mechanical oscillations. Indium oxide microrods grown by a vapor–solid method are naturally clamped to an aluminum oxide ceramic substrate, showing a high quality factor due to reduced energy losses during mechanical vibrations. Quality factors of more than (10)^5 and minimum detectable forces of the order of (10)^(16) N/Hz^(1/2) demonstrate their potential as mechanical microresonators for real applications. Measurements at low- vacuum using the SEM environmental operation mode were performed to study the effect of extrinsic damping on the resonators behavior. The damping coefficient has been determined as a function of pressure.
