Relaxation of single defects in a nanometer sized resonator is observed by coupling surface acoustic waves to a freely suspended beam. The surface waves act on the resonator as driving forces being able to modify the internal friction 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…
An anharmonic oscillator when driven with a fast, frequency chirped voltage pulse can oscillate with either small or large amplitude depending on whether the drive voltage is below or above a critical value-a well studied classical…
Driven non-linear resonators can display sharp resonances or even multistable behaviours amenable to induce strong enhancements of weak signals. Such enhancements can make use of the phenomenon of vibrational resonance whereby a weak…
Frequency entrainment of continuous-variable oscillators has to date been restrained to the weakly nonlinear regime. Here we overcome this bottleneck and extend frequency entrainment of quantum continuous-variable oscillators to arbitrary…
We demonstrate an analytical method for calculating the phase sensitivity of a class of oscillators whose phase does not affect the time evolution of the other dynamic variables. We show that such oscillators possess the possibility for…
As a model of coupled nano-electromechanical resonantors we study two nonlinear driven oscillators with an arbitrary coupling strength between them. Analytical expressions are derived for the oscillation amplitudes as a function of the…
Thermodynamic fluctuations in mechanical resonators cause uncertainty in their frequency measurement, fundamentally limiting performance of frequency-based sensors. Recently, integrating nanophotonic motion readout with micro- and…
We study the possibility of occurrence of vibrational resonance in a softening Duffing oscillator in the underdamped and overdamped cases both theoretically as well as numerically. The oscillator is driven by two periodic forces.…
Autonomous oscillators, such as clocks and lasers, produce periodic signals \emph{without} any external frequency reference. In order to sustain stable periodic motions, there needs to be external energy supply as well as nonlinearity built…
This book chapter describes the dynamics of a modulated oscillator for resonant and nonresonant modulation. Two types of resonant modulation are considered: additive, with frequency close to the oscillator eigenfrequency, and parametric,…
Self-sustained vibrations in systems ranging from lasers to clocks to biological systems are often associated with the coefficient of linear friction, which relates the friction force to the velocity, becoming negative [1,2]. The runaway of…
We demonstrate experimentally the possibility of revealing fluctuations in the eigenfrequency of a resonator when the frequency noise is of the telegraph type. Using a resonantly driven micromechanical resonator, we show that the…
We describe the measurement and modeling of amplitude noise and phase noise in ultra-high Q nanomechanical resonators made from stoichiometric silicon nitride. With quality factors exceeding 2 million, the resonators' noise performance is…
We propose a new mechanism of friction in resonantly driven vibrational systems. The form of the friction force follows from the time- and spatial-symmetry arguments. We consider a microscopic mechanism of this resonant force in…
High quality factor ($Q$) nanomechanical resonators have received a lot of attention for sensor applications with unprecedented sensitivity. Despite the large interest, few investigations into the frequency stability of high-$Q$ resonators…
The ultimate sensitivities achieved in force or mass sensing are limited by the employed nanomechanical probes thermal noise. Its proper understanding is critical for ultimate operation and any deviation from the underlying fluctuation…
We address two aspects of the dynamics of the forced Duffing oscillator which are relevant to the technology of micromechanical devices and, at the same time, have intrinsic significance to the field of nonlinear oscillating systems. First,…
We study nonlinear resonance of coupled modes in nano-mechanical systems. To reveal the qualitative features of the dynamics, we consider the limiting cases, where the results can be obtained analytically. For 1:3 resonance, we find the…
We study a general model describing a self-detecting single electron transistor realized by a suspended carbon nanotube actuated by a nearby antenna. The main features of the device, recently observed in a number of experiments, are…
