摘要：

A technique for fabrication of gold nanowires on a Si(111) surface in ultrahigh vacuum and their electronic transport properties are presented. Gold wires with widths as small as 4 nm are produced by using a gold-coated piezoresistive cantilever in atomic force microscope contact mode. This technique allows patterns to be written at will. In situ electronic transport measurements of a gold wire as long as 7 mum and 4 nm wide show unambiguous metallic behavior. This fabrication method could become pivotal within the next generation of nanoscale microprocessors. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
