Real time control of nanowire formation

  • Chapter
Nanoscale Science and Technology

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 348))

Abstract

We have produced metallic nanowires by manipulating Au nanodiscs with the tip of an atomic force microscope in between electron beam defined Au electrodes. During the process we continuously monitored the electrical characteristics of the wire formation, and observed steps in the conductance in units of integer values of the conductance quantum G0=2e2/h. We also let the fabricated nanowires self-develop, and found wires stable at a certain conductance plateau N·G0 for 30 minutes at room temperature.
