N2 - We present transport simulations of three-dimensional (3D) silicon quantum wires in which electron-phonon scattering is incorporated via local modifications to the potential encountered by the electron waves. Computing resistance as a function of wire length, we find that the effects of dissipation essentially take hold immediately, and are apparent right from the point at which the wire is long enough to act as a true waveguide.
