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…

Optical manipulation of intrinsic localized vibrational energy in cantilever arrays
M. Sato, B. E. Hubbard, A. J. Sievers +2
Optically-induced real-time impurity modes are used to shepherd intrinsic localized vibrational modes (discrete breathers) along micromechanical arrays via either attractive or rep…

Dissipation in Nanocrystalline-Diamond Nanomechanical Resonators
A. B. Hutchinson, P. A. Truitt, K. C. Schwab +4
We have measured the dissipation and frequency of nanocrystalline-diamond nanomechanical resonators with resonant frequencies between 13.7 MHz and 157.3 MHz, over a temperature ran…
