A numerical investigation of the effects of laser heating on resonance measurements of nanocantilevers

Nanomechanical resonators (NR) are cantilevers or doubly clamped nanowires (NW) which vibrate at their resonance frequency. These nanowires with picogram-level mass and frequencies of the order of MHz can resolve added mass in the attogram (10-18 g) range, enabling detection of a few molecules of ca...
