Macro-mechanics Controls Quantum Mechanics: Mechanically Controllable Quantum Conductance Switching of an Electrochemically Fabricated Atomic-scale Transistor — •Torben Staiger1,2, Florian Wertz1, Fangqing Xie1, Marcel Heinze1, Philipp Schmieder1, Christian Lutzweiler1, and Thomas Schimmel1,2 — 1Institute of Applied Physics, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, 76131 Karlsruhe, Germany — 2Institute of Nanotechnology, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, 76344 Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen, Germany
We present a silver atomic-scale device fabricated and operated by a combined technique of electrochemical control (EC) and mechanically controllable break junction (MCBJ). With this EC-MCBJ technique, we can perform mechanically controllable bistable quantum conductance switching of a silver quantum point contact (QPC) in an electrochemical environment at room temperature. In this way, the silver QPC of the atomic quantum transistor can be controlled both mechanically and electrochemically, and the operating modes can be changed from electrochemical to mechanical, which expands the possibilities for controlling QPCs.
