Shell effects in alkali metal nanowires
After making a cold weld by pressing two clean metal 
 
 surfaces together, and gradually separating the two pieces, a metallic nanowire is formed, 
 
 which is progressively thinning down to a single atom before the contact is lost. We show

| description | After making a cold weld by pressing two clean metal 

surfaces together, and gradually separating the two pieces, a metallic nanowire is formed, 

which is progressively thinning down to a single atom before the contact is lost. We show 

evidence that the radii of such nanowires are influenced by electronic shell filling 

effects, in analogy to electronic shell structure in metal clusters. A modulation of the 

shell effect, known as supershell structure, is clearly observed. For sodium and potassium 

at larger diameters there is a crossover to crystalline facets with shell-closings 

corresponding to the completion of an additional atomic layer. We conclude that a complete 

analogy exists between shell structure in metallic clusters and nanowires.
