Progress Towards the Quantum Limit: High and Low Frequency Measurements of Nanoscale Structures

In this thesis, I present the work performed towards a proposal to couple a piezoelectric, nanomechanical beam to a radio frequency single electron transistor (RF-SET). Lumped element RF circuit theory is applied to 50 kOhm single electron transistors acting as the resistor in an RLC circuit. It is...
