Quantum Conductance in Semimetallic Bismuth Nanocontacts
J. G. Rodrigo, A. Garcia-Martin, J. J. Saenz +1
Electronic transport properties of bismuth nanocontacts are analyzed by means of a low temperature scanning tunneling microscope. The subquantum steps observed in the conductance v…
Calibration of the length of a chain of single gold atoms
C. Untiedt, A. I. Yanson, R. Grande +4
Using a scanning tunneling microscope or mechanically controllable break junctions it has been shown that it is possible to control the formation of a wire made of single gold atom…
Mechanical properties and formation mechanisms of a wire of single gold atoms
G. Rubio-Bollinger, S. R. Bahn, N. Agrait +2
A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) supplemented with a force sensor is used to study the mechanical properties of a novel metallic nanostructure: a freely suspended chain of sin…
Fabrication and Characterization of Metallic Nanowires
C. Untiedt, G. Rubio, S. Vieira +1
The shape of metallic constrictions of nanoscopic dimensions (necks) formed using a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is shown to depend on the fabrication procedure. Submitting…
