Full counting statistics of nano-electromechanical systems

– We develop a theory for the full counting statistics (FCS) for a class of nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS), describable by a Markovian generalized master equation. The theory is applied to two specific examples of current interest: vibrating C60 molecules and quantum shuttles. We report a numerical evaluation of the first three cumulants for the C60-setup; for the quantum shuttle we use t...

A Minimalist Parts Manipulation System for a Self-replicating Electromechanical Circuit

In this paper, we describe a fully autonomous, selfreplicating, electromechanical circuit, and the minimalist manipulation system that the circuit uses as a substrate in order to function. In the context of a class project at JHU, we designed and built a prototype system consisting of basic electronic components and motors which had the ability to build a replica of its own control circuit. Thi...

Magnetic damping of a carbon nanotube nano-electromechanical resonator

A suspended, doubly clamped single-wall carbon nanotube is characterized at cryogenic temperatures. We observe specific switching effects in dc-current spectroscopy of the embedded quantum dot. These have been identified previously as nano-electromechanical self-excitation of the system, where positive feedback from single-electron tunneling drives mechanical motion. A magnetic field suppresses...
