▎ 摘  要

We report on the fabrication and operation of a multi-element vibrational structure consisting of two graphene mechanical resonators coupled by a nanotube beam. The whole structure is suspended. Each graphene resonator is clamped by two metal electrodes. The structure is fabricated using a combination of electron-beam lithography and atomic-force microscopy nano-manipulation. This layout allows us to detect the mechanical vibrations electrically. The measured eigenmodes are localized in either one of the graphene resonators. The coupling due to the nanotube is studied by measuring the shift of the resonance frequency of one graphene resonator as a function of the vibration amplitude of the other resonator. Coupled graphene resonators hold promise for the study of nonlinear dynamics, the manipulation of mechanical states, and quantum non-demolition measurements. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.
