Ever since the construction of the first integrated circuits (IC's) in the late fifties, an effort to
increase the speed of the ICs by decreasing the linear dimensions of its components has …

The knowledge on the influence of surface roughness and the electron–phonon (el–ph)
interaction on electrical transport properties of nanoscale metal films is important from both …

With the rapid advancement of nanotechnology, manipulation and characterization of
materials in nano scale have become an obvious part of construction related technology …

The electron scattering at surfaces and grain boundaries is investigated using
polycrystalline Au films deposited onto mica substrates. We vary the three length scales …

We report the Hall effect measured in gold films evaporated onto mica substrates, the
samples having an average grain diameter D that ranges between 12 and 174 nm, and a …

The impact of thiol adsorption on thin copper films, covered with a copper oxide layer, was
investigated using electrical resistance measurements at various stages: during film growth …

The electrical transport of ultrathin films is an issue for modern electronics, since conduction
properties of commonly used metals present important differences for thicknesses in the …

We report the Hall constant RH⁠, drift mobility μ D⁠, and Hall mobility μ H measured at 4 K
in thin gold films deposited on mica substrates, where the dominant electron scattering …

Thin polycrystalline copper films of low surface roughness and low electrical resistivity were
deposited by physical vapor deposition onto mica at room temperature and in thicknesses …

We report analysis of rough mirrors used as the gravitational state selectors in neutron beam
and similar experiments. The key to mirror properties is its roughness correlation function …
