For each link, the maximum elongation and formation probability increase with molecular length, strongly suggesting that processes other than just metal-molecule bond breakage play a key role in junction evolution under stress. Density functional theory calculations of adiabatic trajectories show sequences of atomic-scale changes in junction structure, including shifts in the attachment point, that account for the long conductance plateau lengths observed.","lang":"eng"}],"quality_controlled":"1","type":"journal_article","year":"2009","arxiv":1,"status":"public","intvolume":"       102","volume":102,"OA_place":"repository","day":"24","date_published":"2009-03-24T00:00:00Z"}
