Abstract
We present a quantum mechanical description of a free electron gas mak ing transitions from a continuous to a discrete set of momentum states . The theory can be used to model quantised resistance phenomena in el ectroformed metal-a-Si:H-metal structures. The model predicts a temper ature dependent smearing of the quantised resistance-steps in these st ructures. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
