Abstract: | The excess electrical conductivity in thin tin films due to thermodynamic fluctuations above Tc has been measured as a function of temperature and sheet resistance Rns of films which varied from 0.2 Ω/? to 120 Ω/?. Results have been compared with the Aslamazov-Larkin, Maki-Thompson and Patton theories. It is found that among three the Maki-Thompson theory gives a better fit to experimental data. The pair breaking parameter a fitting parameter in the M-T theory, is found to behave linearly with Rns of films and is given by ? ? 9x10?3 + 1.02x10?2Rns for Rns ≤ 12 Ω/?. |
