Electrochemical Fabrication and Characterization of Iron Quantum Wire

Article Preview

Abstract:

Stable iron quantum wire with atomic-scale was successfully fabricated and electrically characterized with an electrochemical method in solution by a home-made electrochemically controlled system. By careful controlling the etching/deposition process, stepwise conductance behavior could be clearly observed. The I-V curve of the formed iron quantum wire showed the ohmic behavior with low bias voltage. The work is of great significance for molecular electronics, interface electrochemistry and sensing.
