Abstract: This paper is a study of the behavior of experimentally observed stress-strain force during the fracture of a quantum wire. The magnitude of the force oscillates as a function of time and can be phenomenologically regarded as a sign of discrete-scale invariance. In the theory of discrete-scale invariance, termination of the wire is regarded as a phase transition. We estimate the critical point and exponents.
