We present exact free-electron conductance calculations of narrow necks connecting two three-dimensional electron gases. A simple model for the evolution of an atomic point contact during an elongation process is proposed. The conductance and cross-section of the neck are calculated simultaneously d

In this paper we investigate the origin of the giant magnetoresistance effect in atomic-sized magnetic contacts within the framework of Landauer's theory, which relates scattering to conductance in a direct way. It is believed that in magnetic contacts the scattering mechanism is spin-dependent, pro
