Nonlinear Dynamics of Metallic Nanofabrication
J. Bürki
Using concepts from fluid dynamics, a partial differential equation for the shape evolution of a metallic nanowire is derived from a semiclassical energy functional that includes e…
Cohesion, Conductance, and Charging Effects in a Metallic Nanocontact
C. A. Stafford, F. Kassubek, J. Bürki +2
The conducting and thermodynamic properties of ballistic metallic nanocontacts with smooth shapes are investigated. All properties are related to the electronic scattering matrix,…
Statistics of quantum transport in metal nanowires with surface disorder
J. Burki, C. A. Stafford
Experimental conductance histograms built from several thousand successive breakings of sodium nanowires exhibit peaks up to rather high conductance values (100 x 2e^2/h). In this…
Universality in metallic nanocohesion: a quantum chaos approach
C. A. Stafford, F. Kassubek, J. Bürki +1
Convergent semiclassical trace formulae for the density of states and cohesive force of a narrow constriction in an electron gas, whose classical motion is either chaotic or integr…
