Jojo, I believe in both metal nanowires and carbon SWNTs, current density is directly related to radius^2 - Refer to equation(1), page 1 of -
"Stability of Metal Nanowires at Ultrahigh Current Densities" http://arxiv.org/pdf/cond-mat/0411058v3.pdf Perhaps densely packed vertically aligned arrays of metal nanowires and/or metallic carbon SWNTs are also worth a look. They could support extremely large currents and generate very strong fields. I'm not sure, but I think some metals can crystallize this way. Might the ratio of semiconductor/metallic carbon SWNTs be more important than absolute purity? -- Lou Pagnucco Jojo Jaro wrote: > I read these patents and most of it is beyond my ability and skill.
