We derive an analytical expression for the size distribution of monoatomic wires in the framework of a one-dimensional lattice gas model at thermodynamic equilibrium. The theoretical results are compared with the size distribution of one-dimensional Ag wires obtained via nucleation at the step edges of the Pt(997) surface.
