Reduction of intrinsic losses in nanomechanical silicon nitride resonators through thermal treatment in ultrahigh vacuum
Nicola Cavalleri, Ariane Giesriegl, Robert G. West +7
Since the discovery of dissipation dilution, silicon nitride (SiN) nanomechanical resonators have set the benchmark for ultracoherent mechanical systems, with geometry and strain e…
Mode-dependent photothermal responsivity mapping of tensile-stressed nanomechanical resonators
Thomas M. Tropper, Silvan Schmid
The photothermal responsivity of a tensioned nanomechanical resonator, the fractional frequency shift per absorbed optical power, depends on which vibrational mode is tracked and w…
Determination of the intrinsic mechanical quality factor in high-stress silicon nitride resonators
Geena Benga, Vincent Dumont, Wei Wang +6
Recent advances in silicon nitride nanomechanical resonators have pushed mechanical quality factors to ultra-high values by combining stress-induced dissipation dilution with mode-…
Position-Dependent Calibration and Frequency Stability in On-Axis Optical Transduction of Vertical InP Nanowire Resonators
Robert G. West, Kostas Kanellopulos, Lukas Hrachowina +2
We present a quantitative framework for on-axis optical transduction of vertical InP nanowire resonators, correlating laser position to signal amplitude, calibration, and frequency…
