Abstract

It is possible to fabricate structures at the atomic scale using state of the art techniques to manipulate single atoms. It is shown that the chemical valence determines the conduction properties of a one-atom contact between two metallic banks. It is assumed that the number of current-carrying modes of a one atom contact is determined by the available valence orbitals, and should differ for metallic elements in the periodic table.
