Preparation of highly conducting Ag by spark discharge. II. Evidence for quantization of resistance
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 October 2006
Abstract
Recent experimental studies of electrical conduction in a specially prepared
silver-based material, across which a spark has been passed, are interpreted
through electrical conduction via charge density waves (CDWs) moving in a dc
electric field along quasi-one-dimensional chains of Ag+-ions inside
the branches of the discharge pattern engraved in the material by the spark.
Here we present experimental evidence that the resistance along a number N
of branches connected in parallel increases in quantized steps of height
$h/2e^{2}N$
with increasing voltage applied across the branches
