Dissipative and conservative nonlinearity in carbon nanotube and graphene mechanical resonators
J. Moser, A. Eichler, B. Lassagne +5
Graphene and carbon nanotubes represent the ultimate size limit of one and two-dimensional nanoelectromechanical resonators. Because of their reduced dimensionality, graphene and c…
Steady-state negative Wigner functions of nonlinear nanomechanical oscillators
Simon Rips, Martin Kiffner, Ignacio Wilson-Rae +1
We propose a scheme to prepare nanomechanical oscillators in nonclassical steady states, characterized by a pronounced negative Wigner function. In our optomechanical approach, the…
Nonlinear damping in mechanical resonators based on graphene and carbon nanotubes
A. Eichler, J. Moser, J. Chaste +3
Carbon nanotubes and graphene allow fabricating outstanding nanomechanical resonators. They hold promise for various scientific and technological applications, including sensing of…
High-Q Nanomechanics via Destructive Interference of Elastic Waves
I. Wilson-Rae, R. A. Barton, S. S. Verbridge +4
Mechanical dissipation poses an ubiquitous challenge to the performance of nanomechanical devices. Here we analyze the support-induced dissipation of high-stress nanomechanical res…
Minimization of phonon-tunneling dissipation in mechanical resonators
Garrett D. Cole, Ignacio Wilson-Rae, Katharina Werbach +2
Micro- and nanoscale mechanical resonators have recently emerged as ubiquitous devices for use in advanced technological applications, for example in mobile communications and iner…
Exciton-assisted optomechanics with suspended carbon nanotubes
I. Wilson-Rae, C. Galland, W. Zwerger +1
We propose a framework for inducing strong optomechanical effects in a suspended carbon nanotube based on deformation potential exciton-phonon coupling. The excitons are confined u…
