Abstract
The electrical resistivity and the temperature coefficient of resistivity of tin films (490 to 5000 Å) deposited onto glass substrates at room temperature (30° C) were measured in situ in the temperature range 30 to 150° C. It is concluded that Mayadas-Shatzkes theory reproduces the experimental observations more faithfully than Fuchs-Sondheimer's theory.
