Abstract
We report electrode gap formations at high temperatures using a self-breaking technique. We obtained narrow distributions of the size of Au electrode gaps dgap centered at about 0.5 nm at temperatures below 380 K. At higher temperatures, on the other hand, we find larger dgap distributing around 0.8 nm. The present results demonstrate the possible use of high temperature Au nanocontact self-breaking processes for controlled fabrications of electrode gaps useful for DNA sequence read out with quantum mechanics.
