Abstract
The eletrical conductivity of antimony films of different thicknesses was studied at different temperatures. For small thicknessd<L, whereL is the electron mean-free path, the film resistances varies asd −n, wheren=2. However, ford≳L the value ofn becomes smaller than 2 which is in agreement with the theory.
