The origin of dissipation in nanomechanical systems is so far not well understood. On the other hand, structures showing low damping are required for high-sensitivity sensors or to test fundamental questions related to quantum mechanics of macroscopic objects. The goal of this project is to establish a better understanding and finally to control dissipation in nanomechanical systems. Through combination of electrical measurements and a recently developed optical method we will identify the eigenfrequencies, the damping, and modal shapes of nanomechanical resonators.
