Resistance of atomic wires
Abstract
The resistance of wires consisting of 1--3 atoms connecting two semi-infinite metallic electrodes is calculated for both small and large bias. The wires discussed consist of Al atoms, with one of the Al atoms substituted by S in certain cases. The resistances obtained are in the range 7--\ensuremath{\sim}30 k\ensuremath{\Omega}. For the three-atom wire, the value of the resistance when the S atom is present depends on the order of the atoms in the wire. When the S is an end atom, the resistance at larger bias also shows a dependence on polarity (diode behavior). These studies involve a self-consistent calculation of the electron density distribution for the entire electrode/wire system.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
