Abstract

A new type of ultrahigh frequency resonator based on the relative vibrations of carbon nanotubes walls is proposed. Microcanonical molecular dynamics simulations performed for a model resonator based on the (9,0)@(18,0) double-walled carbon nanotube with the movable outer wall give the value of frequency equal to 130 GHz and the quality factor up to 500. Possible applications of the resonator are discussed. The estimated mass sensitivity of the mass sensor based on the proposed resonator reaches the atomic mass limit at liquid helium temperature. The possibility of resonator based on relative vibrations of graphene layers is also considered.
