Nanoscale mechanics
The mechanical properties of very small systems are often strikingly different from the properties of everyday objects. As one considers ever-smaller objects, thermal fluctuations, and then quantum fluctuations start to be important. In this thesis I explain some unusual nanoscale mechanical effects...
