Phonon-mediated damping of mechanical vibrations in a finite atomic chain coupled to an outer environment
Ze'ev Lindenfeld, Eli Eisenberg, Ron Lifshitz
We study phonon-mediated damping of mechanical vibrations in a finite quantum-mechanical atomic-chain model. Our study is motivated by the quest to understand the quality factors (…

Damping of mechanical vibrations by free electrons in metallic nanoresonators
Ze'ev Lindenfeld, Ron Lifshitz
We investigate the effect of free electrons on the quality factor (Q) of a metallic nanomechanical resonator in the form of a thin elastic beam. The flexural and longitudinal modes…

Possibility of Electron Pairing in Small Metallic Nanoparticles
Ze'ev Lindenfeld, Eli Eisenberg, Ron Lifshitz
We investigate the possibility of electron pairing in small metallic nanoparticles at zero temperature. In these particles both electrons and phonons are mesoscopic, i.e. modified…
