Surface Plasmon Enhanced Photoconductance of Gold Nanoparticle Arrays with Incorporated Alkane Linkers (2009)

Mangold, M. A., Weiss, C., Calame, M., Holleitner, A. W.

We report on a photoconductive gain effect in two-dimensional arrays of gold nanoparticles, in which alkane molecules are inserted. The nanoparticle arrays are formed by a self-assembly process from...

Scaling of 1/f noise in tunable break-junctions (2008)

Wu, ZhengMing, Wu, SongMei, Oberholzer, S., Steinacher, M., Calame, M., Schönenberger, C.

We have studied the $1/f$ voltage noise of gold nano-contacts in electromigrated and mechanically controlled break-junctions having resistance values $R$ that can be tuned from 10 $\Omega$ (many...

Controlled formation of metallic nanowires via Au nanoparticle ac trapping (2007)

Bernard, L., Calame, M., Van Der Molen, S. J., Liao, J., Schoenenberger, C.

Applying ac voltages, we trapped gold nanoparticles between microfabricated electrodes under well-defined conditions. We demonstrate that the nanoparticles can be controllably fused together to form...

Electrical conductance of atomic contacts in liquid environments (2004)

Grüter, L., González, M. T., Huber, R., Calame, M., Schönenberger, C.

We present measurements of the electrical conductance $G$ at room temperature of mechanically controllable break junctions (MCBJ) fabricated from Au in different solvents (octane, DCM, DMSO, and...

Collective pinning of a frozen vortex liquid in ultrathin superconducting YBa_2Cu_3O_7 films (2000)

Calame, M., Korshunov, S. E., Leemann, Ch., Martinoli, P.

The linear dynamic response of the two-dimensional (2D) vortex medium in ultrathin YBa_2Cu_3O_7 films was studied by measuring their ac sheet impedance Z over a broad range of frequencies \omega....
