Short summary
The low-dimensional electron systems made from semiconductor heterostructures are known mostly as a base for studying the mesoscopic electron-transport phenomena. However, they can also be used for creation of nanoelectromechanical systems combining non-trivial electron transport and mechanical degrees of freedom. In the present paper, we propose a quantitative physical model describing the piezoelectric electromechanical coupling in nanomechanical resonators with a two-dimensional electron gas.
