英文摘要	This paper presents a work on hitherto unreported conductance alteration of gold atomic contact by electrochemical reduction of redox species at the contact. The interfacial charge transfer current due to reduction of Ru(NH 3)63 + at Au atomic contacts can cause paradigm change of electron transport through the contacts: Conductance quantization is altered to random distribution with substantially reduced length of conductance plateau on the conductance traces. Transient oxidation of the Au atomic contact upon reduction of Ru(NH3)63 +, which relaxes atomic contact structures and hence the conductance, is proposed together with DFT calculation. The observations in the present work also disclose possible mechanistic information that might be generalized to electrochemical reduction at atomic scale. ? 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
