Electron transport properties of thin copper films. I.
TL;DR: In this paper, a critical analysis of the observed size effects in all cases depart markedly from the predictions of the Fuchs-Sondheimer theory (and also that of the Mayadas-Shatzkes theory which takes into account the grain boundary surface scattering).
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermoelectric power of thin polycrystalline metal films in an effective mean free path model
TL;DR: In this paper, the theoretical expression for the thermoelectric power of polycrystalline metal films is derived from an effective Fuchs-Sondheimer conduction model, and a procedure is proposed to determine the variation in the electronic mean free path.
Journal ArticleDOI
The size effect and the temperature coefficient of resistance in thin films
TL;DR: In this article, an expression for the temperature coefficients of resistance of thin metal films is derived, wherein size effects, thermal strain and difference in the thermal expansion coefficients between film and its substrate are taken into account.

Surface morphology and electric conductivity of epitaxial Cu(100) films grown on H-terminated Si(100)
TL;DR: In this article, the crystal structure, surface morphology, and electrical conductance of Cu films grown on H−terminated Si(100) were investigated, and the films were grown by thermal evaporation at 10−8 Torr, at deposition rates from 0.1 to 3.5 nm/s and at substrate temperatures from room temperature up to 200 °C.

The mean free path of electrons in metals
TL;DR: The mean free path of electrons in metals has been studied in this paper, where the authors show that electrons follow a straight line along the path of the electron in the metal atom.

Electrical resistivity model for polycrystalline films: the case of specular reflection at external surfaces
TL;DR: In this article, a model for estimating effects due to electron scattering from grain boundaries, occurring simultaneously with background scattering, was developed for polycrystalline metal films in which a very fine-grained structure is often found.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ordinary transport properties of the noble metals
TL;DR: In this article, the shape of the Fermi surface is made to depend on a single parameter which can be interpreted as the pseudo-potential of the {111} atomic planes acting on an orthogonalized plane wave, giving rise to an energy gap of 5-10 ev at the zone boundaries.
Journal ArticleDOI
The thermoelectric power of pure copper
TL;DR: In this paper, the relative importance of various scattering mechanisms has been analyzed and it has been shown that the anomalies occur whenever scattering by traces of iron becomes dominant, other impurities being of only minor importance.
