Abstract

The combined influence of Casimir and electrostatic forces on the stability of nanodevices is investigated. A simple lumped model with one-degree freedom is adopted and the bifurcation properties of the device are obtained. The pull-in parameters of the system are calculated and it is shown that for plates separated within the range of nanometer in distance, the Casimir effect can influence the stability of the device significantly.
