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"}],"date_published":"2009-03-24T00:00:00Z","day":"24","issue":"12","OA_type":"green","oa":1,"extern":"1","OA_place":"repository","publication_status":"published","volume":102,"oa_version":"Preprint","citation":{"apa":"Kamenetska, M., Koentopp, M., Whalley, A.
