The form of the friction force follows from the time- and spatial-symmetry arguments. We consider a microscopic mechanism of this resonant force in nanomechanical systems. The friction can be negative, leading to an instability of forced vibrations of a nanoresonator and the onset of self-sustained oscillations in the rotating frame.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-03-20T16:34:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "driven nanomechanical systems", "resonantly induced friction", "resonantly driven vibrational systems", "friction force", "microscopic mechanism" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
