Concerning the nature of carrier scattering by the surfaces of bismuth films
Ukhlinov G.A., Garanin V.P.
Results are presented of an investigation of the size effect in the electric conductivity and the thermoelectric power of bismuth films whose surfaces are coated with thin tellurium or lead layers. The decisive role played by the charge state of the bismuth film in its scattering ability relative to the carriers is established.
