Electrical Conductivity of Thin Wires

Electrical Conductivity of Thin Wires

An expression for the electrical conductivity of thin metal wires of a circular cross-section has been derived taking account of conduction-electron scattering at grain boundaries and the wire surface. An angular-dependent specularity parameter has been introduced and possible fluctuations of the wi...
