The field of nano-electromechanics combines nanomechanical resonators with electrical circuits.
In our nano-electromechanics experiments, we investigate a double layer nanomechanical beam consisting of Si3N4 and Niobium
coupled to a superconducting microwave resonator.
Using microwave noise spectroscopy, we determine the electromechanical coupling. Furthermore, the investigation of the nonlinear Duffing regime gives access to the Young’s modulus of the nano-beam. We compare our results with finite element modelling corroborating our experimental data. Additionally, we show that our experimental results can be well modelled by standard beam theory.
Our technique provides a new way to explore the mechanical parameters of nanomechanical beams and could be extended to other hybrid structures. Financial support via the Nanosystems Initiative Munich is gratefully acknowledged.
