Overview

The contributions to this text include the theoretical basis of the conduction mechanisms in low dimensional systems, and worked-out calculations on the electronic structure. The mechanical behaviour of metallic nanowires is discussed, as are the roles of defects and geometry in conductance, the study of the conductance quantization phenomenon. The analysis of conductance histograms, the presentation of different techniques of fabrication and manipulation of nanowires, the analysis of forces appearing in nanowires and their relation to electronic conduction, and more.
