FURTHER EXPERIMENTS ON SURFACE CONDUCTIVITY OF METALLIC THIN FILMS

Abstract

The following points are considered: (1) improvement of the ac bridge used to measure the effect of conductivity modulation caused by transverse electric field (TEFE); (2) preliminary measurements of the TEFE on other metal films, than those already investigated, i.e.: Al, Ni, Cu, Ag; (3) repetition of the TEFE measurements in Au and Bi vs. temperature extending the temperature range as low as to liquid nitrogen temperature; (4) discussion of possible application of TEFE; and (5) discussion of a model advanced to interpret in a purely phenomenological way the TEFE in simple metals, as Au.
