1. An apparatus comprising:

  • a resonator electrode and a second electrode separated from the resonator electrode by a gap having a size configured to facilitate electron transfer across the gap, wherein the resonator electrode is mounted for oscillatory motion relative to the second electrode that results in a size of the gap between the resonator electrode and the second electrode being time variable;

    a feedback circuit configured to convey an electron transfer signal dependent upon electron transfer across the gap as a feedback signal; and

    a drive electrode, for driving the resonator electrode, configured to receive a feedback signal from a feedback circuit that is configured to provide a feedback signal dependent upon electron transfer across a gap.
