Gold nanowires were produced inside a transmission electron microscope (TEM) for an in-situ study of conductance quantization. In particular, G0/2 quantization was investigated, where G0 is the quantization unit corresponding to a resistance of 12.9 kΩ. The probability of observing G0/2 quantization was increased by increasing the applied magnetic field, decreasing the bias voltage, and decreasing the stretching speed of wires.
