Abstract
The electric field effect of epitaxial silver films on mica in vacuum is studied as a function of temperature, thickness, and surface specularity. Using size-effect parameters derived from the analysis of film resistivity, the data indicate that the predominant mechanism for altering the thin-film conductance is the change in surface scattering due to surface charging of the interface.Keywords
