High-bias stability of monatomic chains
R. H. M. Smit, C. Untiedt, J. M. van Ruitenbeek
For the metals Au, Pt and Ir it is possible to form freely suspended monatomic chains between bulk electrodes. The atomic chains sustain very large current densities, but finally f…

Observation of a parity oscillation in the conductance of atomic wires
R. H. M. Smit, C. Untiedt, G. Rubio-Bollinger +2
Using a scanning tunnel microscope or mechanically controlled break junctions, atomic contacts of Au, Pt and Ir are pulled to form chains of atoms. We have recorded traces of condu…
