Cascade of Modal Interactions in Nanomechanical Resonators with Soft Clamping
Zichao Li, Minxing Xu, Richard A. Norte +3
We uncover a chain of nonlinear modal interactions in softly clamped nanostring resonators. The process involves the sequential coupling of five mechanical modes, during frequency…

Dissipation Dilution-Driven Topology Optimization for Maximizing the Factor of Nanomechanical Resonators
Hendrik J. Algra, Zichao Li, Matthijs Langelaar +2
The quality factor ( factor) of nanomechanical resonators is influenced by geometry and stress, a phenomenon called dissipation dilution. Studies have explored maximizing this e…
