Abstract:
A tunable nanoresonator comprising:a support structure; a tuning power source for producing a tuning bias; an RF signal power device comprising at least one of an RF bias emitter and a bias detector; and at least one resonating member, wherein at least one portion of the resonating member is fixedly attached to the support structure and at least one portion of the member is free to oscillate at a resonant frequency, the resonating member in signal communication with the tuning power source such that a tuning bias applied to the resonating member alters the resonant frequency of the resonating member, the resonating member in further signal communication with the signal power device such that an RF bias applied to the resonating member by the RF signal power device induces an oscillatory motion in the resonating member and such that oscillatory motion of the resonating member induces a voltage or current measurable by the RF signal power device.
