متن کاملEvidence for the role of normal-state electrons in nanoelectromechanical damping mechanisms at very low temperatures.
We report on experiments performed at low temperatures on aluminum covered silicon nanoelectromechanical resonators. The substantial difference observed between the mechanical dissipation in the normal and superconducting states measured within the same device unambiguously demonstrates the importance of normal-state electrons in the damping mechanism. The dissipative component becomes vanishin...
متن کاملA stiff scanning tunneling microscopy head for measurement at low temperatures and in high magnetic fields.
We have developed a measurement head for scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and specifically for spectroscopic imaging STM which is optimized for high mechanical stiffness and good thermal conductivity by choice of material. The main components of the microscope head are made of sapphire. Sapphire has been chosen from several competing possibilities based on finite element modeling of the fund...
متن کاملAcoustic Properties of Amorphous Solids at Very Low Temperatures: The Quest for Interacting Tunneling States
We discuss the strain dependence of the acoustic properties of amorphous metals in both normal and superconducting states, in the temperature range 0.1 mK ≤ T ≤ 1 K. A crossover is found when the strain energy is of the order of the effective interaction energy between tunneling systems at the corresponding temperature. Our results provide clear evidence for the interaction between tunneling sy...
متن کاملQuantum friction of micromechanical resonators at low temperatures.
Dissipation of micro- and nanoscale mechanical structures is dominated by quantum-mechanical tunneling of two-level defects intrinsically present in the system. We find that at high frequencies-usually, for smaller, micron-scale structures-a novel mechanism of phonon pumping of two-level defects gives rise to weakly temperature-dependent internal friction, Q-1, concomitant to the effects observ...
