We describe the diatomic molecule by a Morse potential and find the corresponding equations of motion of the hybrid system by using Fokker-Planck formalism. Analytical expressions for the effective frequency and the effective damping of the nanomechanical resonator are obtained. We analyze the ground state cooling of the nanomechanical resonator in presence of the diatomic molecule. The results confirm that presence of the molecule improves the cooling process of the mechanical resonator. Finally, the effect of molecule's parameters on the cooling mechanism is studied.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-04-11T09:55:38.000Z", "abstract": "We propose theoretically a scheme to couple a nanomechanical resonator to a diatomic molecule via a microwave cavity mode of a driven LC resonator.
