Cooling of nanomechanical resonator by thermally activated single-electron transport

F. Santandrea, L. Y. Gorelik, R. I. Shekhter +1

We show that the vibrations of a nanomechanical resonator can be cooled to near its quantum ground state by tunnelling injection of electrons from an STM tip. The interplay between…
