"Boltzman's constant is kind of the right idea"
Perhaps it was Planck's constant, that would make more sense. I'm reading a book on thermodynamics and have Boltzmann on the brain. And it's not a pretty picture...
Could you recommend further reading re. the trapped electron business?

They don't call it "nanotechnology" for nothing. Forget Planck's constant and Boltzman's constant. The scale you're looking for is on the order of 10-9 meters. Make sense? That's what the de Broglie wavelength is all about. Google quantum confinement. That's where the effects take place. But as schroedinger wisely pointed out quantum mechanics reaches to the macro. That's kind of the whole point.Big things have small beginnings. - Prometheus

And that's just what I wish to understand!
Thanks for the pointer.
