Overview

The contributions to Nanowires include the theoretical basis of the conduction mechanisms in low dimensional systems, worked-out calculations on the electronic structure and mechanical behaviour of metallic nanowires, the role 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. Audience: Researchers familiar with the field as well as those new to it, since several contributions review research conducted during recent years.
