Abstract

Local heating in Zn atom-sized contacts is studied at 77K under high biases. Switching rate ν of two-level fluctuations of the contact conductance is measured and statistically analyzed to estimate the contact effective temperature. Typical logν increases linearly with the bias up to 0.35V, which suggests negligible contact heating in the low-bias regime. Above 0.4V, however, logν rises steeply with the bias due to an onset of contact overheating. The estimated contact temperature rises more rapidly with the bias than the V dependence derived theoretically.
