Quantum Transport in Atomic-Sized Contacts Using Break-Junction Experiments — •Guillem Pellicer and Carlos Sabater — Department of Physics, University of Alicante

The study of atomic-sized metallic contacts is fundamental to understanding the limits of electronic transport at the nanoscale. We present a comparative analysis of electronic transport in atomic-sized contacts, contrasting the behavior of noble metals with that of reactive metals under both ambient conditions and inert atmospheres. We examine how environmental interactions influence the formation and stability of these nanocontacts, employing clustering algorithms to analyze these effects.
