Abd, It is not obvious what you want to falsify.
The paper by Pendry - "Low Frequency Plasmons in Thin Wire Structures" - JB Pendry http://www.cmth.ph.ic.ac.uk/photonics/Newphotonics/pdf/wires.pdf - presents very simple calculation (based on wires array geometry) of nanowire surface conduction electron effective mass, and hence effective momentum. An important question is whether these "heavy electrons" actually scatter gammas consistent with their theoretical momenta. Why not irradiate a quasi-ballistic conductor like Au nanowire to create a small number of gamma-emitters (Au-isotopes). Shouldn't gamma energies and directions change as current flow is modulated? If not, is the calculated effective electron momentum incorrect, are the electron surface density or scattering cross-sections too low, or is my interpretation wrong?
