Theory of metastability in simple metal nanowires
J. Bürki, C. A. Stafford, D. L. Stein
Thermally induced conductance jumps of metal nanowires are modeled using stochastic Ginzburg-Landau field theories. Changes in radius are predicted to occur via the nucleation of s…

Electronic shell effects and the stability of alkali nanowires
D. F. Urban, J. Bürki, A. I. Yanson +4
Experimental conductance histograms for Na nanowires are analyzed in detail and compared to recent theoretical results on the stability of cylindrical and elliptical nanowires, usi…

Nonlinear Dynamics of Metallic Nanofabrication
J. Bürki
Using concepts from fluid dynamics, a partial differential equation for the shape evolution of a metallic nanowire is derived from a semiclassical energy functional that includes e…
