Surface conduction and reduced electrical resistivity in ultrathin noncrystalline NbP semimetal
Asir Intisar Khan, Akash Ramdas, Emily Lindgren +9
The electrical resistivity of conventional metals, such as copper, is known to increase in thin films due to electron-surface scattering, limiting the performance of metals in nano…
