Jahn-Teller Distortions and the Supershell Effect in Metal Nanowires
D. F. Urban, J. Bürki, C. -H. Zhang +2
A stability analysis of metal nanowires shows that a Jahn-Teller deformation breaking cylindrical symmetry can be energetically favorable, leading to stable nanowires with elliptic…

Surface Fluctuations and the Stability of Metal Nanowires
C. H. Zhang, F. Kassubek, C. A. Stafford
The surface dynamics and thermodynamics of metal nanowires are investigated in a continuum model. Competition between surface tension and electron-shell effects leads to a rich sta…
