Activation barrier scaling and crossover for noise-induced switching in a micromechanical parametric oscillator
H. B. Chan, C. Stambaugh
We explore fluctuation-induced switching in a parametrically-driven micromechanical torsional oscillator. The oscillator possesses one, two or three stable attractors depending on…

Fluctuation-enhanced frequency mixing in a nonlinear micromechanical oscillator
H. B. Chan, C. Stambaugh
We study noise-enhanced frequency mixing in an underdamped micromechanical torsional oscillator. The oscillator is electrostatically driven into bistability by a strong, periodic v…
