Jellium Model of Metallic Nanocohesion
نویسندگان
چکیده
A unified treatment of the cohesive and conducting properties of metallic nanostructures in terms of the electronic scattering matrix is developed. A simple picture of metallic nanocohesion in which conductance channels act as delocalized chemical bonds is derived in the jellium approximation. Universal force oscillations of order ́FylF are predicted when a metallic quantum wire is stretched to the breaking point, which are synchronized with quantized jumps in the conductance.

Metallic Slabs: Perturbative Treatments Based on Jellium
We examine first-order perturbative results based on jellium for the surface energy of slabs of simple metals, using various local pseudopotentials (Ashcroft, Heine-Abarenkov and evanescent core). The difference between the pseudopotential and the jellium potential is averaged along the plane parallel to the surface. We compare these perturbative results with those of the stabilized jellium mod...

متن کاملJellium Correction on the Critical Condition of Cluster Fission within a Liquid Drop Model
Jellium correction on the fissionability parameter is estimated within a Liquid Drop Model of the charged metallic cluster. This correction modifies the critical condition of fission and, it becomes relevant for small multicharged clusters. PACS numbers: 36.40.Qv, 36.40.-c Adapting the Liquid Drop Model (LDM) from nuclear physics to the description of finite systems (metallic clusters) [1, 2] o...
متن کاملAb Initio Electrical Conductance of a Molecular Wire
A method is developed for computing the direct current and alternating current conductance of molecular wires at small bias. The basic ingredients are: linear response theory, time-dependent density functional theory, imaginary potentials, and a jellium model for the metallic leads. The theory is capable of incorporating the effect of realistic charge distributions in the system and electron–el...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Elastic Properties of Bulk Metallic Glasses
The development of bulk metallic glasses as a prominent class of functional and structural materials has attracted considerable interest in the last years. One of the fundamental physical quantities necessary to describe the mechanical properties of the materials is the bulk modulus. In the present article, a simple method to estimate the bulk modulus and its pressure derivative is proposed. It...
