A uniform conductor of finite length and a square cross section is assumed to model the copper nanowires. The energy spectrum of the wire is determined by solving the one-electron Schrödinger equation with the potential described by a square well potential. The details of size dependence of electronic characteristics of the copper nanowires are illustrated in this present work. © World Scientific Publishing Company. | Source Title: | International Journal of Nanoscience | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/60165 | ISSN: | 0219581X | DOI: | 10.1142/S0219581X05003231 |
