Abstract

- We predict and analyze mechanical instability and corresponding self-sustained mechanical oscillations occurring in a nanoelectromechanical system composed of a metallic carbon nanotube (CNT) suspended between two superconducting leads and coupled to a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) tip. We show that such phenomena are realized in the presence of both the coherent Andreev tunneling between the CNT and superconducting leads, and an incoherent single electron tunneling between the voltage biased STM tip and CNT. Treating the CNT as a single-level quantum dot, we demonstrate that the mechanical instability is controlled by the Josephson phase difference, relative position of the electron energy level, and the direction of the charge flow. It is found numerically that the emergence of the self-sustained oscillations leads to a substantial suppression of DC electric current. © 2020 American Physical Society.
