A new experimental approach for the characterization of the lateral elastic modulus of individual nanowires is demonstrated by implementing a micro/nano scale diametrical compression test geometry, using a flat punch indenter inside of a…
A theoretical description of the weakly nonlinear and mode-dependent dynamics of a nanoscale beam that is under intrinsic tension is developed. A full analysis of the dynamic range of the beam over a wide range of conditions is presented.…
Nanomechanical resonator-based sensing devices are used in medical diagnostics based on their high-frequency dynamic behavior. Cantilevers fall into the category of Nanomechanical resonators. It also resembles a resonator whose shape is…
Nanoindentation is a widely used method for sensitive exploration of the mechanical properties of micromechanical systems. We derived an empirical analysis technique to extract stress-strain field gradient and divergence representations…
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 of the beam are modeled using thin beam elasticity theory,…
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 sweeps, yielding a broad nonlinear response with nearly…
We measure the mechanical thermal noise of soft silicon atomic force microscopy cantilevers. Using an interferometric setup, we have a resolution down to 1E-14 m/rtHz on a wide spectral range (3 Hz to 1E5 Hz). The low frequency behavior…
We study circular nanomechanical graphene resonators by means of continuum elasticity theory, treating them as membranes. We derive dynamic equations for the flexural mode amplitudes. Due to geometrical nonlinearity these can be modeled by…

We use spin torque ferromagnetic resonance to measure the spectral properties of dipole-exchange spin waves in permalloy nanowires. Our measurements reveal that geometric confinement has a profound effect on the damping of spin waves in the…
In this article, eigenfrequencies of nano-beams under axial loads are assessed by making recourse to the well-posed stress-driven nonlocal model (SDM) and strain-driven two-phase local/nonlocal formulation (NstrainG) of elasticity and…
Mechanical sources of nonlinear damping play a central role in modern physics, from solid-state physics to thermodynamics. The microscopic theory of mechanical dissipation [M. I . Dykman, M. A. Krivoglaz, Physica Status Solidi (b) 68, 111…
We compute damping of mechanical oscillations of a cantilever that contains flipping paramagnetic spins. This kind of damping is mandated by the dynamics of the total angular momentum, spin + mechanical. Rigorous expression for the damping…
We study translational, breathing and twisting resonant modes of transverse magnetic domain walls pinned at notches in ferromagnetic nanostrips. We demonstrate that a mode's sensitivity to notches depends strongly on the characteristics of…
I study dephasing of an underdamped nanomechanical resonator subject to random mass loading of small particles. I present a frequency noise model which describes dephasing due to attachment and detachment of particles at random points and…

The dynamics of nanomechanical resonators driven by both low- and high-frequency signals is studied. Considering, as an example, resonators made of a doubly-clamped beam with magnetomotive driving, it is shown that three-frequency…

Elastic strain engineering utilizes stress to realize unusual material properties. For instance, strain can be used to enhance the electron mobility of a semiconductor, enabling more efficient solar cells and smaller, faster transistors. In…
Mechanical nonlinearities dominate the motion of nanoresonators already at relatively small oscillation amplitudes. Although single and coupled two-degrees-of-freedom models have been used to account for experimentally observed nonlinear…
