Abstract :
Surface effects from contaminants and oxidation will be investigated for gold and copper metallic nanowires. The objectives are to investigate effects from adsorption and diffusion of C and/or O and their effects on resistance. Also, the possibility of using gold as a diffusion barrier will be investigated as part of this research.
