Quantum Friction in Nanomechanical Oscillators at Millikelvin Temperatures
Guiti Zolfagharkhani, Alexei Gaidarzhy, Seung-Bo Shim +2
We report low-temperature measurements of dissipation in megahertz-range, suspended, single-crystal nanomechanical oscillators. At millikelvin temperatures, both dissipation (inver…
Comment on the "Comment by Schwab, Blencowe, Roukes, Cleland, Girvin, Milburn, and Ekinci: quant-ph/0503018"
A. Gaidarzhy, G. Zolfagharkhani, R. L. Badzey +1
We show that arguments in the comment by Schwab et al. quant-ph/0503018 on our recent work are invalid.
Evidence for Quantized Displacement in Macroscopic Nanomechanical Oscillators
Alexei Gaidarzhy, Guiti Zolfagharkhani, Robert L. Badzey +1
We report the observation of discrete displacement of nanomechanical oscillators with gigahertz-range resonance frequencies at millikelvin temperatures. The oscillators are nanomac…
Temperature dependence of a nanomechanical switch
Robert L. Badzey, Guiti Zolfagharkhani, Alexei Gaidarzhy +1
We present the effect of temperature on the switching characteristics of a bistable nonlinear nanomechanical beam. At MHz-range frequencies, we find that it is possible to controll…
A controllable nanomechanical memory element
Robert L. Badzey, Guiti Zolfagharkhani, Alexei Gaidarzhy +1
We report the realization of a completely controllable high-speed nanomechanical memory element fabricated from single-crystal silicon wafers. This element consists of a doubly-cla…
