  • Abstract
    The variation of resistivity with temperature for thin polycrystalline films of bismuth on BeO substrates is reported. Resistivity minima at temperatures of 90-150°C were observed for films of thickness 0.08-1.0 microns. Experimental results are compared with the theory relating the decrease of the mean free path by grain boundary scattering to the decrease in sample size.
