An alternative string theory : The current‐versus‐potential behavior of metal atom strings (Ni, Co, Cr) is dependent on the strength of the d‐orbital coupling along the metal atom chain. Penta ‐ and heptachromium strings each exhibit two sets of primary I – V curves, which depend on whether the CrCr bonds alternate and are localized, or are delocalized (see picture).
