Observation of decoherence in a carbon nanotube mechanical resonator
Ben H. Schneider, Vibhor Singh, Warner J. Venstra +2
In physical systems, decoherence can arise from both dissipative and dephasing processes. In mechanical resonators, the driven frequency response measures a combination of both, wh…
Submicrosecond-timescale readout of carbon nanotube mechanical motion
H. B. Meerwaldt, S. R. Johnston, H. S. J. van der Zant +1
We report fast readout of the motion of a carbon nanotube mechanical resonator. A close-proximity high electron mobility transistor amplifier is used to increase the bandwidth of t…
Large spin-orbit coupling in carbon nanotubes
G. A. Steele, F. Pei, E. A. Laird +3
It has recently been recognized that the strong spin-orbit interaction present in solids can lead to new phenomena, such as materials with non-trivial topological order. Although t…
Probing the charge of a quantum dot with a nanomechanical resonator
Harold B. Meerwaldt, Giorgi Labadze, Ben H. Schneider +4
We have used the mechanical motion of a carbon nanotube (CNT) as a probe of the average charge on a quantum dot. Variations of the resonance frequency and the quality factor are de…
Carbon nanotubes: Nonlinear high-Q resonators with strong coupling to single-electron tunneling
Harold B. Meerwaldt, Gary A. Steele, Herre S. J. van der Zant
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are nonlinear high-Q resonators with strong coupling to single-electron tunneling. We begin by describing several methods to detect the flexural motion of a…
Strong coupling between single-electron tunneling and nano-mechanical motion
G. A. Steele, A. K. Huettel, B. Witkamp +4
Nanoscale resonators that oscillate at high frequencies are useful in many measurement applications. We studied a high-quality mechanical resonator made from a suspended carbon nan…
