Electronic shell effects and the stability of alkali nanowires
D. F. Urban, J. Bürki, A. I. Yanson +4
Experimental conductance histograms for Na nanowires are analyzed in detail and compared to recent theoretical results on the stability of cylindrical and elliptical nanowires, usi…
Shell-effects in heavy alkali-metal nanowires
A. I. Yanson, I. K. Yanson, J. M. van Ruitenbeek
We supplement our previous observations of the shell effect in alkali-metal nanowires (Li, Na, K) with data extended to the heavy alkalis Rb and Cs. Our observations include: i) a…
Observation of electronic and atomic shell effects in gold nanowires
A. I. Mares, A. F. Otte, L. G. Soukiassian +2
The formation of gold nanowires in vacuum at room temperature reveals a periodic spectrum of exceptionally stable diameters. This is identified as shell structure similar to that w…
