Nonharmonic oscillations of nanosized cantilevers due to quantum-size effects
Martin Olsen, Per Gradin, Ulf Lindefelt +1
Using a one-dimensional jellium model and standard beam theory we calculate the spring constant of a vibrating nanowire cantilever. By using the asymptotic energy eigenvalues of th…

Free-electron Model for Mesoscopic Force Fluctuations in Nanowires
S. Blom, H. Olin, J. L. Costa-Kramer +4
When two metal electrodes are separated, a nanometer sized wire (nanowire) is formed just before the contact breaks. The electrical conduction measured during this retraction proce…
