Quantum Necking in Stressed Metallic Nanowires
J. Burki, Raymond E. Goldstein, C. A. Stafford
When a macroscopic metallic wire is subject to tensile stress, it necks down smoothly as it elongates. We show that nanowires with radii comparable to the Fermi wavelength display…

Quantum Suppression of the Rayleigh Instability in Nanowires
F. Kassubek, C. A. Stafford, Hermann Grabert +1
A linear stability analysis of metallic nanowires is performed in the free-electron model using quantum chaos techniques. It is found that the classical instability of a long wire…
