Planar nanocontacts with atomically controlled separation
Y. V. Kervennic, D. Vanmaekelbergh, L. P Kouwenhoven +1
We have developed a technology to reproducibly make gaps with distance control on the single atom scale. The gold contacts are flat on the nanometre scale and are fabricated on an…

Nanometer-spaced platinum electrodes with calibrated separation
Y. -V. Kervennic, H. S. J. Van der Zant, A. F. Morpurgo +2
We have fabricated pairs of platinum electrodes with separation between 20 and 3.5 nm. Our technique combines electron beam lithography and chemical electrodeposition. We show that…
