Abstract

Recent experimental studies of electrical conduction in very thin wires at low temperatures are reviewed and compared with theoretical predictions based on localization in one dimension. While the principal experimental results are in good qualitative agreement with the theory, there are several quantitative discrepancies. At least some of these discrepancies appear to be due to inadequacies in our present understanding of inelastic scattering processes in disordered metals, but recent suggestions that electron-electron interaction effects are playing an important role cannot be ruled out.KeywordsInelastic ScatteringThin WireCorrect MagnitudeImpurity ResistanceNarrow SampleThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
