Electrostatic potential of nanowire
A visualization, generated by an open science grid-powered nanowire tool, shows the electrostatic potential of a 26-nanometer-long, 5-nanometer-thick nanowire. The electrostatic potential is rendered in 3D and 1D, cut along the length of the wire (inset screenshot with the first three nanowire modes).
