Quantum-wave nature of electric current in a metallic conductor and some of its electrophysical macro-phenomena

Abstract

The paper presents results of theoretical and experimental research on wave longitudinal and radial distribution of drifting free electrons in a round homogeneous metallic conductor with a pulse axial current. The studies reveal quantum-wave character of electric conduction current flow in the conductor examined, which results in a phenomenon of quantized periodic macro-localization of free electrons in the conductor inner structure.
