We investigate the influence of gold thin-films subsequently deposited on a set of initially bare, doubly clamped, high-stress silicon nitride string resonators at room temperature. Analytical expressions for resonance frequency, quality factor and damping for both in- and out-of-plane flexural modes of the bilayer system are derived, which allows for the determination of effective elastic parameters of the composite structure from our experimental data. We find the inverse quality factor to scale linearly with the gold film thickness, indicating that the overall damping is governed by losses in the metal. Correspondingly, the mechanical linewidth increases by more than one order of magnitude compared to the bare silicon nitride string resonator. Furthermore, we extract mechanical quality factors of the gold film for both flexural modes and show that they can be enhanced by complete deposition of the metal in a single step, suggesting that surface and interface losses play a vital role in metal thin-films.

We have studied damping in polycrystalline Al nanomechanical resonators by measuring the temperature dependence of their resonance frequency and quality factor over a temperature range of 0.1 - 4 K. Two regimes are clearly distinguished with a crosso
ver temperature of 1 K. Below 1 K we observe a logarithmic temperature dependence of the frequency and linear dependence of damping that cannot be explained by the existing standard models. We attribute these phenomena to the effect of the two-level systems characterized by the unexpectedly long (at least two orders of magnitude longer) relaxation times and discuss possible microscopic models for such systems. We conclude that the dynamics of the two-level systems is dominated by their interaction with one-dimensional phonon modes of the resonators.
The transition from classical to quantum mechanics has intrigued scientists in the past and remains one of the most fundamental conceptual challenges in state-of-the-art physics. Beyond the quantum mechanical correspondence principle, quantum-classic
al analogies have attracted considerable interest. In this work, we present classical two-mode interference for a nanomechanical two-mode system, realizing classical Stuckelberg interferometry. In the past, Stuckelberg interferometry has been investigated exclusively in quantum mechanical two-level systems. Here, we experimentally demonstrate a classical analog of Stuckelberg interferometry taking advantage of coherent energy exchange between two-strongly coupled, high quality factor nanomechanical resonator modes. Furthermore, we provide an exact theoretical solution for the double passage Stuckelberg problem which reveals the analogy of the return probabilities in the quantum mechanical and the classical version of the problem. This result qualifies classical two-mode systems at large as a testbed for quantum mechanical interferometry.
We report on the first systematic study of spin transport in bilayer graphene (BLG) as a function of mobility, minimum conductivity, charge density and temperature. The spin relaxation time $tau_s$ scales inversely with the mobility $mu$ of BLG sampl
es both at room temperature and at low temperature. This indicates the importance of Dyakonov - Perel spin scattering in BLG. Spin relaxation times of up to 2 ns are observed in samples with the lowest mobility. These times are an order of magnitude longer than any values previously reported for single layer graphene (SLG). We discuss the role of intrinsic and extrinsic factors that could lead to the dominance of Dyakonov-Perel spin scattering in BLG. In comparison to SLG, significant changes in the density dependence of $tau_s$ are observed as a function of temperature.
Stochastic switching between the two bistable states of a strongly driven mechanical resonator enables detection of weak signals based on probability distributions, in a manner that mimics biological systems. However, conventional silicon resonators
at the microscale require a large amount of fluctuation power to achieve a switching rate in the order of a few Hertz. Here, we employ graphene membrane resonators of atomic thickness to achieve a stochastic switching rate of 7.8 kHz, which is 200 times faster than current state-of-the-art. The (effective) temperature of the fluctuations is approximately 400 K, which is 3000 times lower than the state-of-the-art. This shows that these membranes are potentially useful to transduce weak signals in the audible frequency domain. Furthermore, we perform numerical simulations to understand the transition dynamics of the resonator and derive simple analytical expressions to investigate the relevant scaling parameters that allow high-frequency, low-temperature stochastic switching to be achieved in mechanical resonators.
We study nanomechanical resonators with frequency fluctuations due to diffusion of absorbed particles. The diffusion depends on the vibration amplitude through inertial effect. We find that, if the diffusion coefficient is sufficiently large, the res
onator response to periodic driving displays bistability. The lifetime of the coexisting vibrational states scales exponentially with the diffusion coefficient. It also displays a characteristic scaling dependence on the distance to bifurcation points.
