Gold nanowires and their chemical modifications
Hannu Hakkinen, Robert N. Barnett, Uzi Landman
Equilibrium structure, local densities of states, and electronic transport in a gold nanowire made of a four-atom chain supported by two gold electrodes, which has been imaged rece…
Dissociation, fragmentation and fission of simple metal clusters
Constantine Yannouleas, Uzi Landman, Robert N. Barnett
This pedagogical review presents the Shell Correction Method (SCM) and variants thereof, appropriate for describing shape deformations and electronic shell effects, energetics and…
On mesoscopic forces and quantized conductance in model metallic nanowires
Constantine Yannouleas, Uzi Landman
Energetics and conductance in jellium modelled nanowires are investigated using the local-density-functional-based shell correction method. In analogy with studies of other finite-…
