The tunnel resistance of highly stable, mechanically controlled break junctions of Al, Au, Cu, Pb, Ni, Pt, and Pt-Ir, have been recorded as a function of the electrode spacing over 6-7 decades. Clear deviations from the expected exponential behavior have been observed. Comparison with previous exper...
