Gold nanowires and the effect of impurities

Gold nanowires and the effect of impurities

<p>Abstract</p><p>Metal nanowires and in particular gold nanowires have received a great deal of attention in the past few years. Experiments on gold nanowires have prompted theory and simulation to help answer questions posed by these studies. Here we present results of computer s...
