Plasmonic Thermal Conductance of Stack of Metallic Nanorings
In this paper, we study the plasmonic thermal conductance of ordered stacks of metallic nanorings in a host material. Using second quantized formalism of the Random Phase Approximation, we first determine the dispersion relations of surface plasmon waves on the stacks of nanorings. Then, using Landauer-Buttiker formalism, we determine the coefficient of plasmonic thermal conductance and heat cu...
متن کاملQuantized thermal conductance of dielectric quantum wires
Using the Landauer formulation of transport theory, we predict that dielectric quantum wires should exhibit quantized thermal conductance at low temperatures in a ballistic phonon regime. The quantum of thermal conductance is universal, independent of the characteristics of the material, and equal to π2k2 BT/3h where kB is the Boltzmann constant, h is Plank’s constant and T is the temperature. ...
متن کاملEnergetics, forces, and quantized conductance in jellium-modeled metallic nanowires
Energetics and quantized conductance in jellium-modeled nanowires are investigated using the localdensity-functional-based shell correction method, extending our previous study of uniform-in-shape wires @C. Yannouleas and U. Landman, J. Phys. Chem. B 101, 5780 ~1997!# to wires containing a variable-shaped constricted region. The energetics of the wire ~sodium! as a function of the length of the...
متن کاملOn Mesoscopic Forces and Quantized Conductance in Model Metallic Nanowires
Energetics and conductance in jellium-modeled nanowires are investigated using the local-density-functionalbased shell correction method. In analogy with studies of other finite-size fermion systems, e.g., simple metal clusters or 3He clusters, we find that the energetics of the wire as a function of its radius (transverse reduced dimension) leads to formation of self-selecting magic wire confi...
متن کاملFabrication of stable metallic nanowires with quantized conductance
A metallic nanowire with quantized conductance was fabricated by electrochemically etching a narrow portion of a metallic wire supported on a solid substrate down to the atomic scale. The width of the nanowire was controlled flexibly by etching atoms away or depositing atoms back onto the wire with the electrochemical potential. Using a feedback loop this method can, at will, fabricate a single...
