Sizde-dependent thermal conductivity in aluminium films

Abstract The thermal and electrical resistivities of aluminium films have been measured in a transverse magnetic field at 4·2°K. The results for the thermal resistivity show similar size effects as predicted by Sondheimer and by MacDonald and Sarginson for the electrical resistivity. The normal thermal magnetoresistance of aluminium has also been investigated.
