Abstract

A semiclassical trace formula for the mesoscopic oscillations of the cohesive force in a metallic nanowire of constant cross section is derived. It is shown that the force oscillations are universal, in the sense that their r.m.s. amplitude is independent of the area of the cross section, only for cross sections with a continuous one-dimensional symmetry. For a wire of rectangular cross section, the r.m.s. amplitude of the force oscillations is shown to be proportional to the aspect ratio of the cross section.
