摘要
Stability of nanowires formed between a sharp tip and a metallic sample in air at room temperature is demonstrated via simple experiments. Two kinds of experiments are carried out. In the first case the polarization voltage is kept constant and the system is subjected to small mechanical perturbations. In the second type of experiment the polarization voltage is changed, starting from a stable nanowire.
