Highly Conductive [3×n] Gold-Ion Clusters Enclosed within Self-Assembled Cages

Ion nanowire: Electron transport through discrete gold‐ion arrays within coordination cages was directly measured between Au nanogap electrodes (see picture) using STM. Precise calibration of the electron transport distance demonstrates that Au‐ion arrays exhibit good conductance and only moderate l...

Description
Summary:Ion nanowire: Electron transport through discrete gold‐ion arrays within coordination cages was directly measured between Au nanogap electrodes (see picture) using STM. Precise calibration of the electron transport distance demonstrates that Au‐ion arrays exhibit good conductance and only moderate loss with increasing transport length.
