摘要
The conductance of thin films with diffusive surface scattering was solved semiclassically by Fuchs and Sondheimer. However, when the intrinsic electron mean free path is very large or infinite their conductance diverges. In this Letter a simple diffraction picture is presented. It yields a conductance which corresponds to a limiting mean free path of a(2)/lambda(F), where a is the film thickness.
