One of the most topical and promising areas in present-day physics is the study of the
physical properties of metallic few-atom contacts, which are attractive not only for their …

Over the past few decades, the field of molecular electronics has greatly benefited from
advances in the fundamental understanding of charge transport mechanisms. Molecular …

Рассматривается одна из актуальных и многообещающих областей современной
физики ì изучение физических свойств металлических наноконтактов, состоящих из …

It is shown that the finite elasticity of atomic-sized gold constrictions allows for a continuous
and reversible change in conductance. This is achieved by superposition of atomic-scale or …

This paper concerns an experimental and theoretical study of the transition between two
consecutive conductance plateaus as obtained in breaking gold contact experiments. The …

Previously, the authors reported direct evidence of channel saturation and conductance
quantization in atomic-sized gold constrictions through mechanical perturbation studies, and …

Random telegraphic noises with a preferential jump height around 0.018 G 0 were observed
in the conductance traces of the Au− pentacene− Au junctions. The distribution of the …

We demonstrate a technique for simultaneously fabricating arrays of electromigrated
nanogaps using a single-ramp feedback-controlled voltage clamp. The parallel formation is …

The evolution of the electronic structure of linear atomic Ag chains on Ag (111) has been
explored atom by atom using low‐temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy and …

Local phase transition from ferromagnetic to paramagnetic state in the region of the ballistic
Ni nanocontacts (NCs) has been experimentally observed. We found that contact size …
