title = "Real-time ultrafast optical interferometry of NEMS operating in fluidic environment",
abstract = "Interactions of NEMS with fluids are of interest both in determining the NEMS performance outside of vacuum, and in elucidation of fluid dynamics at these small scales. We present a comprehensive study of nanomechanical damping in three gases (He, N2, CO2), and liquid CO2. Resonant dynamics in multiple devices of varying size and frequency (10-400 MHz) is measured over 10 decades of pressure (1 mPa-20 MPa). We find a fluid relaxation time model to be valid throughout, but not beyond, the non-Newtonian regime (up to several atmospheres), and classical vibrating spheres model to be valid in the viscous limit.",
