Features of the electrical conductivity of Fe, Ni, Ti, and Pt nanoisland films: Hysteresis and ion-field processes

Resumo

Features of the temperature dependence of the conductivity of nanoisland metal films are investigated. It is established that the conductivity is affected, aside from via thermal activation, by ion-field processes caused by the surface diffusion of atoms. The variation in the ion-field conductivity is shown to have an activation character.
