A single-electron tunneling (SET) device with a nanoscale central island that can move with respect to the
bulk source- and drain electrodes allows for a nanoelectromechanical (NEM) coupling between the electrical
current through the device and mechanical vibrations of the island. Although an electromechanical “shuttle” instability
and the associated phenomenon of single-electron shuttling were predicted more than 15 years ago, both
theoretical and experimental studies of NEM-SET structures are still carried out. New functionalities based on
quantum coherence, Coulomb correlations and coherent electron-spin dynamics are of particular current interest.
In this article we present a short review of recent activities in this area.
