Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>The contact interface between large metal electrodes and ultrathin gold nanowires produced from a chemical synthesis is investigated by S. Pud, S. Vitusevich, and co‐workers. The conduction through this junction is influenced by physisorbed molecules on the nanowires. The electrical transport mechanism through the electrode–nanowires interface is explained <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">on page 846</ext-link> in the context of thermal fluctuationinduced tunneling theory, and is confirmed by microscopy measurements. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1vb1x0q1" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
