Surface stress effects on the resonant properties of metal nanowires: The importance of finite deformation kinematics and the impact of the residual surface stress (2008, background): “[25], who studied the effect of applied tensile stress on the resonant frequencies of fixed/fixed SiN nanowires.”
Cantilever-like micromechanical sensors (2011, background): “have extraordinary high quality factors [48] and in polymeric”
Mechanical systems in the quantum regime (2011, background): “Under the appropriate growing conditions thin films with stresses of ∼1 GPa can be obtained [152] and resonators made using this material have extremely high quality factors [153,154].”
Ultralow-Noise SiN Trampoline Resonators for Sensing and Optomechanics (2015, methodology): “Drawing inspiration from similar structures [20], those having embedded Bragg mirrors [21,22], and high-Qm nitride strings [23], we pattern single-layer resonators suitable for a “membrane-in-the-middle” [24] optomechanical geometry.”
Experimental Review of Graphene (2011, background): “These Q factors are lower than diamond NEMS (Q 2500–3000) [135] and significantly lower than high-tensile Si3N4 (Q 200, 000) [136].”
