Nonlinear damping in graphene resonators
Journal article, 2012

Based on a continuum mechanical model for single-layer graphene, we propose and analyze a microscopic mechanism for dissipation in nanoelectromechanical graphene resonators. We find that coupling between flexural modes and in-plane phonons leads to linear and nonlinear damping of out-of-plane vibrations. By tuning external parameters such as bias and ac voltages, one can cross over from a linear-to a nonlinear-damping dominated regime. We discuss the behavior of the effective quality factor in this context. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevB.86.235435
