Abstract

The conductivity of a low-melting metal-polymer-metal system as a function of temperature is studied. A new technique for detecting structural modifications in metals is suggested. Experimental results are discussed within a model of charge instability, which occurs in thin polymer films when boundary conditions are changed.
