Ref[1] points out that certain nanowires can carry enormous current
densities (~ 10^11[A/cm^2]) which vaporize macro-sized wires.
In metals, this equates to ballistic electron speeds of ~ 100 km/sec
- approximately the same as (0-Amp) random thermal electron velocity
- far greater than a

Horace, thanks for the reply. You wrote:
You should keep in mind that in nanowires, even (laser induced)
thermal pulses move at 2x10^6 m/s, the conduction band electron speed.
Yes. There are electron-lattice mechanical couplings
(e.g,, pinches, phonons, ...) that complicate a simple,

Lots of good questions, but my example is not ambitious enough to

Horace,
You parse comments way too precisely.
I should have said that your observations raise questions.
For instance, a key one is -
The WL math and QM is possibly controversial (e.g. via Hagelstein and
Chaudhary), but the logic and common sense in problem definition and
conclusions are
