  "abstract": "We measure Au and Ag atomic-size contacts in magnetic fields, from zero field to 20 T. We find a magnetic field induced torque which leads to atomic binding at shorter distances than at zero field. Furthermore, the conductance drops below $G_0$ at high magnetic fields by about 15\\% in Au. We calculate the conduction through nanosized Au contacts containing residual $O_2$ molecules attached to the contact region and find a spin polarized current when $O_2$ is located at the atomic contact. We discuss the role of spin-orbit coupling in the magnetic properties of $O_2$ attached to Au.",
