Abstract

The advances in new smart materials are linked with attosecond subatomic technologies which can create entangled subatomic electron pairs by attosecond hard ultraviolet and soft X rays in addition to one-electron excitations by femtosecond optical pulses. The quantum infrastructure of nonequilibrium physical media in smart materials is provided by the Fermi and Bose gas of quasi-electron excitations, and the quantum infrastructure of their space-time scales is specified by the quantum mechanisms of two-electron attophysics and one-electron femtochemistry. The primary scale is subatomic (1.0 pm to 0.1 nm), and the next scale is supra-atomic (0.1 to 10.0 nm), being the scale of nanoelectromechanical systems of sensors and actuators that provide self-organization in the space-time hierarchy of nano-, micro-, meso-, and macroscopic dissipative structures of nonequilibrium physical media in smart materials. Here we show that any quantum nanoelectromechanical system can alternately be a sensor and an actuator of dissipative structures with a two-clock cycle: an attosecond sensor of entangled two-electron excitations and a femtosecond actuator of electromechanical motion modes in a nonequilibrium physical medium. For such nanoelectromechanical sensors-actuators, the motion rhythm is three orders of magnitude faster than for femtosecond nanomolecular sensors of one-electron excitations and nanomolecular actuators of vibrationrotation modes in nonequilibrium physical media.
