The self-induction of a thin cylindrical metallic wire has been calculated. A general case when the ratio of the electron free path to the wire radius may take an arbitrary value has been considered. The dependence of the regular reflectance on surface defect density and angle of incidence of electrons on the wire’s inner surface has been taken for boundary conditions of the problem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
