Lett.", year="2002", volume="88", number="22", abstract="Electrons moving in a conductor can transfer momentum to the lattice via collisions with impurities and boundaries, giving rise to a fluctuating mechanical stress tensor. The root-mean-squared momentum transfer per scattering event in a disordered metal (of dimension L greater than the mean free path l and screening length xi) is found to be reduced below the Fermi momentum by a factor of order l/L for shear fluctuations and (xi/L)^2 for pressure fluctuations. The excitation of an elastic bending mode by the shear fluctuations is estimated to fall within current experimental sensitivity for a nanomechanical oscillator.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=433), last updated on Mon, 24 May 2021 14:35:03 -0500", issn="0031-9007", doi="10.1103/PhysRevLett.88.228303", opturl="http://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevLett.88.228303", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.88.228303" }
