Single crystalline ultrathin gold nanowires: Promising nanoscale interconnects

Single crystalline ultrathin gold nanowires: Promising nanoscale interconnects

Using first principles based density functional calculation we study the mechanical, electronic and transport properties of single crystalline gold nanowires. While nanowires with the diameter less than 2 nm retain hexagonal cross-section, the larger diameter wires show a structural smoothening lead...
