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

Microelectromechanical (MEMS) and nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) are ideal
candidates for exploring quantum fluids, since they can be manufactured reproducibly, cover …

Destroying superfluidity is a fundamental process and in fermionic superfluid such as He 3-B
it splits Cooper pairs into thermal excitations, quasiparticles. At the lowest temperatures, a …

The mechanical resonance properties of a microelectromechanical oscillator with a gap of
1.25 μ m was studied in superfluid He 3-B at various pressures. The oscillator was driven in …

Tunneling two-level systems affect damping, noise, and decoherence in a wide range of
devices, including nanoelectromechanical resonators, optomechanical systems, and qubits …

A microelectromechanical oscillator with a gap of 1.25 μ m was immersed in superfluid He 3-
