Nonlinear modal interactions in resonant systems govern a wide range of phenomena, with broad relevance across modern physics and engineering. Yet, experimentally determining the strength of nonlinear coupling in multimode resonators…
We report results on the Young's modulus (YM) of defect-free and defective silicene nanoribbons (SNRs) as a function of length and temperature. In this study, we perform molecular dynamics simulations using the Environment-Dependent…
The hardness of materials plays an important role in material design. There are numerous experimental methods to measure the hardness of materials, but theoretical prediction of hardness is challenging. By investigating the correlation…
Resonant modes determine the response of electromagnetic devices, including dielectric and plasmonic resonators. Relying on the degrees of freedom that metamaterials provide, this contribution shows how to design, at will, the resonant…
Recent years have seen a rapid reduction in the intrinsic loss of nanomechanical resonators (i.e., chip-scale mechanical oscillators). As a result, these devices become increasingly sensitive to the friction exerted by smallest amounts of…
Regarding lightweighting structures for aeronautics, automotive or construction applications, the level of performance of solutions proposed in terms of damping and isolation is fundamental. Hence multilayered plate appears as an…
We investigate mechanical mode coupling between the four fundamental flexural modes of two doubly-clamped, high-Q silicon-nitride nanomechanical string resonators. Strong mechanical coupling between the strings is induced by the strain…

A method is described for using resonant x-ray scattering to separately quantify the charge (valence) modulation and the strain wave associated with a charge density wave. The essence of the method is a separation of the atomic form factor…

Amorphous solids, which show characteristic differences from crystals, are common in daily usage. Glasses, gels, and polymers are familiar examples, and polymers are particularly important in terms of their role in construction and…
The elastic response of suspended NbSe3 nanowires is studied across the charge density wave phase transition. The nanoscale dimensions of the resonator lead to a large resonant frequency (10-100 MHz), bringing the excited phonon frequency…

The mechanical properties of single-layer black phosphrous under uniaxial deformation are investigated using first-principles calculations. Both Young's modulus and the ultimate strain are found to be highly anisotropic and nonlinear as a…
We present a high-sensitivity measurement technique for mechanical nanoresonators. Due to intrinsic nonlinear effects, different flexural modes of a nanobeam can be coupled while driving each of them on resonance. This mode-coupling scheme…
