36. A. Franke and E. Pehlke (private communication). For calculations of constant-distance data the tip was placed 0.4-0.6 nm above the dimer and the distances between the maxima varied between 0.45 and 0.48 nm. The current was calculated in a Tersoff-Hamann approach (Ref.). The electronic structure of the silver dimer has been calculated using density functional methods described in Ref..
