Here, the mechanical resonance characteristics of freestanding, single-crystal diamond nanobeams fabricated by an angled-etching methodology are reported. Resonance frequencies displayed evidence of significant compressive stress in doubly clamped diamond nanobeams, while cantilever resonance modes followed the expected inverse-length-squared trend. Q-factors on the order of 104 were recorded in high vacuum. Results presented here represent initial groundwork for future diamond-based nanomechanical systems which may be applied in both classical and quantum applications.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-09-07T08:04:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "81.05.ug", "61.46.Df", "81.07.Bc" ], "keywords": [ "nanomechanical resonant structures", "nanomechanical systems", "cantilever resonance modes", "resonance frequencies displayed evidence", "represent initial groundwork" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1063/1.4821917", "journal": "Applied Physics Letters", "year": 2013, "month": "Sep", "volume": 103, "number": 13, "pages": 131904 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013ApPhL.103m1904B" } } }
