摘要
The variation of conduction in island metallic Ti, Co, W, and FeNi films in weak electric field is studied. The variation of the differential conductivity of island metallic films with an electric field at temperatures from T = 77 to 300 K is measured, as well as the temperature dependence of the differential conductivity in the same temperature range. It is shown that a thermally activated conduction mode is realized in such structures. The mechanism of variation of conductivity of island metallic films in a weak electric field is discussed.
