Electrical Conductance of Atomic Contacts in Liquid Environments
Source abstract
Abstract
Mechanically controllable break junctions have been characterized in different solvents as well as in air and vacuum. In the high-conductance regime, the environment plays a minor role, while in the low-conductance (tunneling) regime, a systematic and reproducible lowering of the tunneling barrier height is observed (the experimental setup is shown in the image).
