Exploring Three-Atom-Thick Gold Structures as a Benchmark for Atomic-Scale Calibration of Break-Junction Systems

J. P. Cuenca, T. de Ara, A. Martinez-Garcia +2

We present an in-depth study of electronic transport in atomic-sized gold contacts using Break-Junction (BJ) techniques under cryogenic and ambient conditions. Our experimental res…

Conductance of atomic size contacts of Ag and Au at high magnetic fields

Beilun Wu, Andrés Martínez, Paula Obladen +6

Electronic conduction at the atomic scale can be described by Landauer's formalism. In single atom point contacts of noble metals like Au and Ag, there is just one channel open bet…

Evidence of an Off-resonant Electronic Transport Mechanism in Helicenes

T. de Ara, C. Hsu, A. Martinez-Garcia +9

Helical molecules have been identified as potential candidates for investigating electronic transport, spin filtering, or even piezoelectricity. However, the description of the tra…

Influence of relativistic effects on the contact formation of transition metals

M. R. Calvo, C. Sabater, W. Dednam +3

Our analysis of the contact formation processes undergone by Au, Ag and Cu nanojunctions, reveals that the distance at which the two closest atoms on a pair of opposing electrodes…
