title: Pristine, adherent ultrathin gold nanowires on substrates and between pre-defined contacts via a wet chemical route.
abstract: We demonstrate a simple strategy of obtaining clean, ultrathin single crystal Au nanowires on substrates and interconnecting pre-defined contacts with an insight into the growth mechanism. The pristine nature enables electron transport measurement through such ultrathin wires and opens up possibilities of exploring its properties for a wide range of applications.
