The effect of magnetic field on the ageing of island silver films for successive depositions
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of magnetic field on the occurrence of large scale coalescence (LSC) is studied through repeated deposition technique, and the results show that the effect is more pronounced on smaller islands than on larger ones.

Journal ArticleDOI
The electrical properties of ultrathin gold films during and after their growth on glass
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a model where the applied field stretches the particles causing a decrease in the tunnelling length and making the films metallic continuous at an average thickness of 53+ or 13 AA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adsorption and Electrical Conduction in Thin Films
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the experimental findings do not demand this interpretation, and that contributions to the observed resistance increases may arise from any of the following: (1) localized resistance change at necks in the film, (2) changes in surface stress on adsorption, and (3) a decrease in the rate of electron tunneling across gaps in a film with an increase in the work function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resistive inhomogeneity in discontinuous metal films
TL;DR: In this article, a series of experiments were conducted to investigate resistive inhomogeneity in discontinuous metal films and it was shown that the metal-insulator transition is a percolation threshold phenomenon with large areas of films remaining poorly connected to the metallic network.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oscillatory behavior of the agglomeration rate in island copper films.
TL;DR: The presence of a thin film of water vapor on the substrate surface impedes the agglomeration rate to a great extent while the presence of adsorbed substrate-surface contaminants decreases the energy for surface migration of islands of copper thereby increasing the aggLomersation rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of residual gases and surface contaminants on the aging behavior of island silver films
TL;DR: In this paper, the aging of island silver films deposited on glass at room temperature and at a pressure of 2×10−5 Torr was studied by monitoring the dc electrical resistance of the films.
