Abstract
We probe electromechanical properties of InAs nanowire (diameter ) resonators where the suspended nanowire is also the active channel of a field-effect transistor. We observe and explain the nonmonotonic dispersion of the resonant frequency with dc gate voltage . The effect of electronic screening on the properties of the resonator can be seen in the amplitude. We observe the mixing of mechanical modes with . We also experimentally probe and quantitatively explain the hysteretic nonlinear properties, as a function of , of the resonator using the Duffing equation.
