Although several SMACs have been realized so far, their controllable fabrication remains challenging due to the need to arrange single atoms in an atomically precise manner. Here we develop a chemical vapour co-deposition method to construct a wafer-scale network of platinum SMACs in atom-thin films. The obtained atomic chains possess an average length of up to ~17 nm and a high density of over 10 wt%. Interestingly, as a consequence of the electronic delocalization of platinum atoms along the chain, this atomically coherent one-dimensional channel delivers a metallic behaviour, as revealed by electronic measurements, first-principles calculations and complex network modelling. Our strategy is potentially extendable to other transition metals such as cobalt, enriching the toolbox for manufacturing SMACs and paving the way for the fundamental study of one-dimensional systems and the development of devices comprising monoatomic chains. 000907439 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5353$$a5353 - Understanding the Structural and Functional Behavior of Solid State Systems (POF4-535)$$cPOF4-535$$fPOF IV$$x0 000907439 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5351$$a5351 - Platform for Correlative, In Situ and Operando Characterization (POF4-535)$$cPOF4-535$$fPOF IV$$x1 000907439 536__ $$0G:(GEPRIS)167917811$$aDFG project 167917811 - SFB 917: Resistiv schaltende Chalkogenide für zukünftige Elektronikanwendungen: Struktur, Kinetik und Bauelementskalierung "Nanoswitches" (167917811)$$c167917811$$x2 000907439 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, Journals: juser.fz-juelich.de 000907439 65027 $$0V:(DE-MLZ)SciArea-180$$2V:(DE-HGF)$$aMaterials Science$$x0 000907439 65027 $$0V:(DE-MLZ)SciArea-110$$2V:(DE-HGF)$$aChemistry$$x1 000907439 65027 $$0V:(DE-MLZ)SciArea-120$$2V:(DE-HGF)$$aCondensed Matter Physics$$x2 000907439 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aFu, Jiecai$$b1 000907439 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aZhang, Peikun$$b2 000907439 7001_ $$00000-0001-6383-3665$$aZhu, Chao$$b3 000907439 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aYao, Heming$$b4 000907439 7001_ $$00000-0001-6752-5299$$aXu, Manzhang$$b5 000907439 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aAn, Boxing$$b6 000907439 7001_ $$00000-0003-2411-7804$$aWang, Xingli$$b7 000907439 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aTang, Bijun$$b8 000907439 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)190782$$aDeng, Yan$$b9 000907439 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aSalim, Teddy$$b10 000907439 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)145710$$aDu, Hongchu$$b11 000907439 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)144121$$aDunin-Borkowski, Rafal$$b12$$ufzj 000907439 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aXu, Mingquan$$b13 000907439 7001_ $$00000-0002-6803-1095$$aZhou, Wu$$b14 000907439 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aTay, Beng Kang$$b15 000907439 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aZhu, Chao$$b16 000907439 7001_ $$00000-0002-3227-0780$$aHe, Yanchao$$b17 000907439 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aHofmann, Mario$$b18 000907439 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aHsieh, Ya-Ping$$b19 000907439 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aGuo, Wanlin$$b20 000907439 7001_ $$00000-0001-6833-5227$$aNg, Michael$$b21 000907439 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)130736$$aJia, Chun-Lin$$b22$$eCorresponding author 000907439 7001_ $$00000-0001-6406-0959$$aZhang, Zhuhua$$b23$$eCorresponding author 000907439 7001_ $$00000-0002-9347-930X$$aHe, Yongmin$$b24$$eCorresponding author 000907439 7001_ $$00000-0002-8825-7198$$aLiu, Zheng$$b25$$eCorresponding author 000907439 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)3105490-0$$a10.1038/s44160-022-00038-z$$gVol. 1, no. 3, p. 245 - 253$$n3$$p245 - 253$$tNature Synthesis$$v1$$x2731-0582$$y2022 000907439 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/907439/files/s44160-022-00038-z-1.pdf 000907439 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/907439/files/Direct%20growth.pdf$$yPublished on 2022-03-14.
