The single-particle and interaction effects on the cohesion, electronic transport, and some magnetic properties of metallic nanocylinders have been studied at finite voltages by using a generalized mean-field electron model. The electron-electron interactions are treated in the self-consistent Hartree approximation. Our results show the single-particle effect is dominant in the cohesive force, while the nonzero magnetoconductance and magnetotension coefficients are attributed to the interaction effect. Both single-particle and interaction effects are important to the differential conductance and magnetic susceptibility.
