Calculation of the electrical conductivity of a thin metal layer in the case of different specular reflectances of its surfaces

Abstract

The local electrical conductivity of a thin metal layer is calculated and modeled with the different specular reflectances of its internal surfaces taken into account. The dependence of the real and imaginary parts of the conductivity on the dimensionless frequency of electron collisions in the volume of the thin layer and on the dimensionless frequency of the external field is analyzed. The kinetic Boltzmann equation is used in the approximation of the electron relaxation time.
