Diamagnetically levitating resonant weighing scale

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...

Rigid body dynamics of diamagnetically levitating graphite resonators

Diamagnetic levitation is a promising technique for realizing resonant sensors and energy harvesters since it offers thermal and mechanical isolation from the environment at zero power. To advance the application of diamagnetically levitating resonators, it is important to characterize their dynamics in the presence of both magnetic and...

Characterization and Dynamics of Diamagnetically Levitated Objects

From the earliest days, the phenomenon of levitation has always aroused the curiosity of humankind due to its mysterious and unique nature. Levitation systems are particularly interesting because of their non-contact characteristic which provides the possibility to isolate the levitated object from environmental effects like mechanical friction...
