Mapping of Vibrational Modes Revealing a Strong and Tunable Coupling in Two Juxtaposed 3R-WSe Nanodrums.

Two-dimensional (2D) material resonators have emerged as promising platforms for advanced nanomechanical applications due to their exceptional mechanical properties, tunability, and nonlinearities. We explored the strong mechanical mode coupling between two adjacent 3R-WSe nanodrums at room temperature. Combining a piezoelectric material, as noncentrosymmetric 3R-WSe, and vibration manipulation is the building block for phononic experiments with 2D materials. By strategically placing gate grids beneath each resonator and mapping the spatial distribution of these modes, we demonstrate the ability to transit between localized modes in individual membranes to delocalized, strongly coupled modes that span the entire suspended region. The coherent coupling is strongly tunable with simple gate voltage, and remarkable resonance splitting was achieved, corresponding to up to 5% of the vibration frequency. These results showcase the potential of 2D material resonators for efficient information exchange, paving the way for novel applications in quantum technologies and nanoscale sensing.
