Electrical conduction and electron emission of discontinuous thin films
TLDR
In this article, the electrical conductivity of discontinuous thin metal films is assumed to be by a substrate-assisted tunnelling, and it is shown that electrons are emitted from small islands in the cathode region where the main voltage drop occurs.About:

Electrical Conduction Mechanism in Ultrathin, Evaporated Metal Films
C. A. Neugebauer,M. B. Webb +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the electrical conduction mechanism in the film plane of ultrathin, evaporated metal films and showed that the conductivity depends exponentially on reciprocal temperature, and it should be independent of field at low fields.

Electrical Conduction between Metallic Microparticles
D. S. Herman,T. N. Rhodin +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that conduction can occur in the substrate surface by electron tunneling between the separated microparticles, and that the current carriers can be contributed to the insulator surface regions by the metallic particles.
