Research Abstract |
Simultaneous measurement system on mechanical and electrical properties of a metallic monatomic wire was built to study experimentally a current-induced force in the wire. The mechanically controllable break junction combined with a tuning fork as a force sensor was used. Measured values using the tuning fork were analyzed by several theoretical models, and the model showing a good quantitative approximation was determined. Mechanical and electrical properties of Au monatomic wires were measured under a low temperature. Although it was observed that the resonance frequency of the tuning fork was shifted due to monatomic wire formation, a clear bias-dependence of the mechanical properties measured was not found.
