Scaling Theory of the Peierls-CDW in Metal Nanowires
D. F. Urban, C. A. Stafford, Hermann Grabert
The Peierls instability in multi-channel metal nanowires is investigated. Hyperscaling relations are established for the finite-size-, temperature-, and wavevector-scaling of the e…
Negativity of the excess noise in a quantum wire capacitively coupled to a gate
F. Dolcini, B. Trauzettel, I. Safi +1
The electrical current noise of a quantum wire is expected to increase with increasing applied voltage. We show that this intuition can be wrong. Specifically, we consider a single…
Stability and Symmetry Breaking in Metal Nanowires
D. F. Urban, J. Bürki, C. A. Stafford +1
A general linear stability analysis of simple metal nanowires is presented using a continuum approach which correctly accounts for material-specific surface properties and electron…
