High Qelectromechanics with InAs nanowire quantum dots

摘要

In this report, we study electromechanical properties of suspended InAs nanowire resonators. At low temperatures, the nanowire acts as the island of a single electron transistor, and a strong coupling between electron transport and mechanical modes is observed for resonant mechanical driving. Further, as a function of the mechanical drive frequency, the conductance exhibits a Fano lineshape. This arises from the interference between two contributions to potential of the single electron transistor coming from capacitively induced charges and the mechanical oscillation. The quality factor (Q) of these devices is ～10~5 at 100mK.
