Detection of MEMS Acoustics via Scanning Tunneling Microscopy

R. J. G. Elbertse, M. Xu, A. Keşkekler +2

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) have traditionally addressed vastly different length scales - one resolving atoms, the other engineer…

Characterizing multi-mode nonlinear dynamics of nanomechanical resonators

Ata Keşkekler, Vincent Bos, Alejandro M. Aragón +2

Mechanical nonlinearities dominate the motion of nanoresonators already at relatively small oscillation amplitudes. Although single and coupled two-degrees-of-freedom models have b…

Enhancing nonlinear damping by parametric-direct internal resonance

Ata Keşkekler, Oriel Shoshani, Martin Lee +3

Mechanical sources of nonlinear damping play a central role in modern physics, from solid-state physics to thermodynamics. The microscopic theory of mechanical dissipation [M. I .…
