Effects of noise on hysteresis and resonance width in graphene and
nanotubes resonators
   [PDF]

Oliva G. Cantu Ros, Gloria Platero, Luis L. Bonilla
We investigate the role that noise plays in the hysteretic dynamics of a suspended nanotube or a graphene sheet subject to an oscillating force. We find that not only the size but also the position of the hysteresis region in these systems can be controlled by noise. We also find that nano-resonators act as noise rectifiers: by increasing the noise in the setup, the resonance width of the characteristic peak in these systems is reduced and, as a result, the quality factor is increased.
