Conductance of single-atom platinum contacts: Voltage-dependence of the conductance histogram
S. K. Nielsen, Y. Noat, M. Brandbyge +6
The conductance of a single-atom contact is sensitive to the coupling of this contact atom to the atoms in the leads. Notably for the transition metals this gives rise to a conside…
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…
Effect of disorder on the conductance of a Cu atomic point contact
D. J. Bakker, Y. Noat, A. I. Yanson +1
We present a systematic study of the effect of the disorder in copper point contacts. We show that peaks in the conductance histogram of copper point contacts shift upon addition o…
