This paper proposes a model of mechanical switch with stretched nanocontacts based on an analysis of the mechanisms of electron transport within a nanocontact. We use the model proposed to derive equations describing the current in a circuit with an opening switch. The measurement data and the calculation results confirm that nanocontacts substantially modify transient states in the studied circuit and therefore their effect must be taken into account in theoretical analysis.

W artykule na podstawie analizy mechanizmów transportu elektronów w obrębie nanozłączy zaproponowano model łącznika mechanicznego z rozciąganymi nanozłączami. Na podstawie modelu wyprowadzono wzory opisujące prąd płynący w obwodzie elektrycznym podczas otwierania łącznika. Wyniki pomiarów i obliczeń potwierdziły, że nanozłącza w sposób znaczny modyfikują stany nieustalone prądu w badanym obwodzie, co potwierdza konieczność uwzględnienia tego efektu w analizie teoretycznej.
