The electronic properties of low-dimensional materials deviate significantly from their bulk counterparts. Especially in quasi one-dimensional (1D) materials, a small number of structural defects can lead to strong electron localization. Electrons may also display unusual collective behavior in 1D. As integrated circuits continue to shrink in size, there is an increasing need for understanding and possibly manipulating electronic transport in quasi 1D materials. Here, we focus on electrical transport in self-assembled YSi2 [yttrium disilicide] nanowires on Si(001). Being just a few atoms wide, these nanowires are one of the closest experimental realizations of a 1D conductor. YSi2 nanowires …
