Simulation of the elastic properties of nanomechanical beam and membrane resonators — •Kristian Scholz, Thomas Möller, Daniel Mutter, Markus Ring, Ralf Schmid, Martin Vögele, and Peter Nielaba — Physics Department, University of Konstanz, Germany

The oscillation behaviour of nanomechanical resonators in the form of doubly clamped beams and clamped membranes is investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. After setting up the initial structure, the end points of the beams or the outer border of the membranes, respectively, are fixed and a constant force is applied over all atoms in order to achieve a transverse deflection. The force is then turned off resulting in a free oscillation of the structures. Besides varying the size of the structures, the effects of temperature, external stretching fields, cavities and crystal faults are explored. The results show a decrease of the oscillation frequencies and an increase of the damping coefficient with rising temperature, a strong increase of the frequencies with external stress (stretching), a decrease of frequencies with size and an increase of the damping coefficient when adding cavities to the structures. It is also possible to observe the dissipation of energy from the collective oscillation of the structures into thermal energy of the degrees of freedom of the constituting atoms. Different materials (e.g. Si, Si3N4 and NiTi memory alloys) are explored as well. In order to explore quantum effects in the low temperature regime path integral Monte Carlo simulations are performed.
