Critical length for self-trapping and suppression of critical temperature for superconductivity in quasi-one-dimensional quantum nanowires of restricted size

The research presented in this thesis is highly mathematical in nature. The majority of my research is based on a novel approach used by Rashba [1] to solving equations which can be reduced to a particular form and solved in terms of elliptic integrals. In 1994 Rashba showed that a critical length f...
