Dynamics and Dissipation Induced by Single-Electron Tunneling in Carbon Nanotube Nanoelectromechanical Systems
We demonstrate the effect of single-electron tunneling (SET) through a carbon nanotube quantum dot on its nanomechanical motion. We find that the frequency response and the dissipation of the nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS) to SET strongly depends on the electronic environment of the quantum dot, in particular on the total dot …
