Galvomagnetic properties of evaporated bismuth films Peria, William Thomas

Abstract

A study has been made of the Hall coefficient and resistivity of evaporated bismuth films. Special attention has been given to the determination of the effects of the conditions of preparation on the resultant properties. A suggestion has been offered to explain the strong dependence of these properties on the temperature of the substrate during deposition. Critical points have been found in the curves of the resistivity and its magnetic field dependence versus thickness. This critical thickness is thought to be that at which a previously reported abrupt change in crystallite size occurs.
