When a macroscopic metallic wire is subject to a perturbation, it will neck down to its most stable shape. Different nanowires with radii comparable to the Fermi Wavelength display remarkably different behavior. We model the nanowire into 2 shapes for analysis, namely the typical cylinder and the “s...
