Hidden vibrational bistability revealed by intrinsic fluctuations of a carbon nanotube
P. Belardinelli, W. Yang, A. Bachtold +2
We demonstrate that a quiet state and large-amplitude self-sustained oscillations can co-exist in a carbon nanotube subject to time-independent drive. A feature of the bistability…
Nonlinear nanomechanical resonators approaching the quantum ground state
C. Samanta, S. L. De Bonis, C. B. Møller +9
An open question in mechanics is whether mechanical resonators can be made nonlinear with vibrations approaching the quantum ground state. This requires engineering a mechanical no…
Nanomechanical Resonators: Toward Atomic Scale
Bo Xu, Pengcheng Zhang, Jiankai Zhu +14
The quest for realizing and manipulating ever smaller man-made movable structures and dynamical machines has spurred tremendous endeavors, led to important discoveries, and inspire…
Nanomechanical vibrational response from electrical mixing measurements
C. Samanta, D. A. Czaplewski, S. L. De Bonis +6
Driven nanomechanical resonators based on low-dimensional materials are routinely and efficiently detected with electrical mixing measurements. However, the measured signal is a no…
Mesoscopic physics of nanomechanical systems
Adrian Bachtold, Joel Moser, M. I. Dykman
Nanomechanics has brought mesoscopic physics into the world of vibrations. Because nanomechanical systems are small, fluctuations are significant, the vibrations become nonlinear a…
Proposal for a nanomechanical qubit
F. Pistolesi, A. N. Cleland, A. Bachtold
Mechanical oscillators have been demonstrated with very high quality factors over a wide range of frequencies. These also couple to a wide variety of fields and forces, making them…
