Quantum Effects in the Mechanical Properties of Suspended Nanomechanical Systems
S. M. Carr, W. E. Lawrence, M. N. Wybourne
We explore the quantum aspects of an elastic bar supported at both ends and subject to compression. If strain rather than stress is held fixed, the system remains stable beyond the…

Sensitivity of a micromechanical displacement detector based on the radio-frequency single-electron transistor
Miles P. Blencowe, Martin N. Wybourne
We investigate the tunneling shot noise limits on the sensitivity of a micromechanical displacement detector based on a metal junction, radio-frequency single-electron transistor (…

Quantum squeezing micron-sized cantilevers
M. P. Blencowe, M. N. Wybourne
We show that substantial quantum squeezing of mechanical motion can be achieved for micron-sized cantilever devices fabricated using available techniques. A method is also describe…
