Nanomechanics has brought mesoscopic physics into the world of vibrations. Because
nanomechanical systems are small, fluctuations are significant, the vibrations already …

Nanomechanical resonators have been used to weigh cells, biomolecules and gas
molecules,,,, and to study basic phenomena in surface science, such as phase transitions …

Nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) resonators can detect mass with exceptional
sensitivity. Previously, mass spectra from several hundred adsorption events were …

The book provides a unifying insight into fluctuation phenomena in a broad variety of
vibrational systems of current interest. It consists of individual chapters written by leading …

Euler-Bernoulli beam theory is widely used to successfully predict the linear dynamics of
micro-and nanocantilever beams. However, its capacity to characterize the nonlinear …

We report on the nonlinear coupling between the mechanical modes of a nanotube
resonator. The coupling is revealed in a pump-probe experiment where a mode driven by a …

We report on a nanomechanical engineering method to monitor matter growth in real time
via e-beam electromechanical coupling. This method relies on the exceptional mass …

We demonstrate multiphoton blockades (PB) in the pulsed regime by using a Kerr-nonlinear
dissipative resonator driven by a sequence of Gaussian pulses. It is shown that the results …

We demonstrate a quantum regime of dissipative nonlinear oscillators where the creation of
Fock states as well as the superpositions of Fock states are realized for time intervals …

Position measurements at the quantum level are vital for many applications but also
challenging. Typically, methods based on optical phase shifts are used, but these methods …
