Abstract

We study the thermoelectric properties of island metal films on a dielectric substrate. Dependence of thermoelectric coefficient of metal films on their thickness with the dimensionless conductance g>1 and g<1 was investigated. Also, the thermopower dependence of island metal structures with g<1 on the chemical composition of nanostructures was studied. We found that regardless of tunneling or Drude character of conductivity, the value of the thermoelectric coefficient in island metal films is determined by the properties of film metal element.
