Abstract
We study the current transmission through a nonidal interface between two different metals. The exact equations relating the electron distri bution functions in the bulk of metals are obtained. These equations t ake into account the specular scattering of electrons from the contact ing surface as well. as the diffusive scattering from defects at the i nterface. A specific resistance of contact is calculated. The approach makes it possible to take into account the nonideality of the inerfac e in a rigorous way.
