The generation of these atomic-size metal wires by the mechanical stretching has allowed the study of a wide range of metals at nanoscale.

In this work we have studied the relevance of thermal effects on the structural and transport response of Ag atomic-size nanowires generated by mechanical elongation. Our study involve time-resolved atomic resolution transmission electron microscopy imaging and quantum conductance measurement using a ultra-high-vacuum mechanically he controllable break junction in association with quantum transport calculations. We have observed drastic changes in conductance and structural properties of Ag nanowires generated at different temperatures (150 and 300 K).
