This research is in the emerging area of microelectromechanical                 devices.  It proposes directed research to fabricate and characterize           microstructures under the action of given forces.  Research emphasis            includes the fabrication, characterization, and modelling of linear             and rotating devices under dynamic conditions.  In particular, this             work is concerned with developing an understanding of friction, wear,           surface modification and fatigue at the microscopic level, dealing              with mechanical structures in the micron size range.  To probe these            phenomena, a recently developed high spatial resolution, time-resolved          scanning Auger microprobe will be used.  Knowledge gained through this          research will be used to design and fabricate a pair of micro-                  tweezers.
