Example of a nanomechanical system: Molecularly sized gears

Nanomechanics

Some of the mechanical aspects of nanotechnology is

• Extreme Youngs modulus materials
• High frequency resonances in nanoscale oscillators

NEMS

Nano-electro-mechanical systems

Mechanics of beams and cantilevers

Cantilevers are essential in many mechanical systems: Nanotubes, nanowires and atomic force microscopes...

The harmonic oscillator

Fundamental in the description of any oscillating systems is the harmonic oscillator and the quantum mechanical version, the Quantum harmonic oscillator.
