Abstract
We have investigated the quantum transport behavior of Cu nanowires created by bringing two macroscopic Cu wires into and out of contact at room temperature. We have observed quantum conductance with steps of both e2/h and 2e2/h. We conclude that the spin degeneracy can be broken in nonmagnetic Cu nanowires.
