Dynamic relaxation oscillations in a nonlinearly driven quartz crystal
S. Houri, M. J. Geuze, W. J. Venstra
We demonstrate thermo-mechanical relaxation oscillations in a strongly driven quartz crystal. Dynamic bifurcation leads to two stable oscillation states with a distinct electrical…
Strain-dependent damping in nanomechanical resonators from thin crystals
E. Kramer, D. J. J. van Dorp, R. van Leeuwen +1
We investigate the effect of mechanical strain on the dynamics of thin nanodrum resonators. Using a piezoelectric crystal, compressive and tensile biaxial strain i…
High-Q Tantalum Oxide Nanomechanical Resonators by Laser-Oxidation of TaSe2
Santiago J. Cartamil-Bueno, Peter G. Steeneken, Frans D. Tichelaar +7
Controlling the strain in two-dimensional materials is an interesting avenue to tailor the mechanical properties of nanoelectromechanical systems. Here we demonstrate a technique t…
Observation of decoherence in a carbon nanotube mechanical resonator
Ben H. Schneider, Vibhor Singh, Warner J. Venstra +2
In physical systems, decoherence can arise from both dissipative and dephasing processes. In mechanical resonators, the driven frequency response measures a combination of both, wh…
Pick-up and drop transfer of diamond nanosheets
V. Seshan, J. O. Island, R. van Leeuwen +9
Nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) is a promising material for electronic and mechanical micro- and nanodevices. Here we introduce a versatile pick-up and drop technique that makes it p…
