Ghatkesar, Farbod Alijani, Minxing Xu, Richard A. Norte, and Peter G. Steeneken 2023 Key points of interest from previous works Characterizing thermomechanical noise using laser technology Validating reduction in allan deviation with amplitude increase Operating at resonance phase point for noise emulation 2) Tuning nonlinear damping in graphene nanoresonators by parametric–direct internal resonance Ata Keşkekler, Oriel Shoshani, Martin Lee, Herre S. J. van der Zant, Peter G. Steeneken & Farbod Alijan 2021 Identifying limitations in sensing rate due to non-linear damping Topic of interest Tips for tuning frequency resolution Resolution limit of resonant sensors For fast sensing: Increase quality factor Tune amplitude Frequency resolution can be minimized by reducing the rate at which data is collected, allowing for more accurate frequency analysis. For slow sensing: Decrease acquisition rate Topic of interest Driving fundamental mode to interact with higher mode for internal resonance Tuning non-linear damping By increasing material tension, parametric resonance frequency increase rate reduces near locking regime, where non-linear damping significantly drops, which can aid to reduce frequency noise Frequency resolution can be minimized by reducing the rate at which data is collected, allowing for more accurate frequency analysis.
