A Current Induced Transition in atomic-sized contacts of metallic Alloys
Jan W. T. Heemskerk, Yves Noat, David J. Bakker +3
We have measured conductance histograms of atomic point contacts made from the noble-transition metal alloys CuNi, AgPd, and AuPt for a concentration ratio of 1:1. For all alloys t…

Quantum properties of atomic-sized conductors
Nicolas Agrait, Alfredo Levy Yeyati, Jan M. van Ruitenbeek
Using remarkably simple experimental techniques it is possible to gently break a metallic contact and thus form conducting nanowires. During the last stages of the pulling a neck-s…
