dc.description.abstractWe examine the conductance properties of a chain of Na atoms between two metallic leads in the limit of low bias. Resonant states corresponding to the conductance channel and the local charge neutrality condition cause conductance oscillations as a function of the number of atoms in the chain. Moreover, the geometrical shape of the contact leads influences the conductivity by giving rise to additional oscillations as a function of the lead opening angle.en
