Comparison of IV curves for the nanoribbons and macrocrystals. (a) Resistance versus length curve acquired on a crystal with dimensions of 350 × 10 × 10 μm3, where, in contrast to the nanoribbons case, a linear behaviour is observed. The inset shows an optical microscopy image of a crystal contacted by two gold probes. (b) Experimental I/V curves obtained for nanoribbons (green), and crystals both for longitudinal transport (blue) and for transversal transport (red). The light blue empty circles show the fitting to theoretical Expression (2) of the main text.
