Sub-harmonic resonant excitation of confined acoustic modes at GHz frequencies with a high-repetition-rate femtosecond laser
A. Bruchhausen, R. Gebs, F. Hudert +10
We propose sub-harmonic resonant optical excitation with femtosecond lasers as a new method for the characterization of phononic and nanomechanical systems in the gigahertz to tera…
Influence of chopped laser light onto the electronic transport through atomic-sized contacts
D. C. Guhr, D. Rettinger, J. Boneberg +3
This article reports on the influence of laser irradiation onto the electrical conductance of gold nanocontacts established with the mechanically controllable breakjunction techniq…
Capped colloids as light-mills in optical traps
F. S. Merkt, A. Erbe, P. Leiderer
Custom-designed colloidal particles in an optical tweezers act as light-mills in a fluid. In particular, aqueous suspensions of capped colloids, in which half of the surface is cov…
A nanomechanical resonator shuttling single electrons at radio frequencies
A. Erbe, C. Weiss, W. Zwerger +1
We observe transport of electrons through a metallic island on the tip of a nanomechanical pendulum. The resulting tunneling current shows distinct features corresponding to the di…
Mechanical Mixing in Nonlinear Nanomechanical Resonators
A. Erbe, G. Corso, H. Krommer +3
Nanomechanical resonators, machined out of Silicon-on-Insulator wafers, are operated in the nonlinear regime to investigate higher-order mechanical mixing at radio frequencies, rel…
