Electric resistance measurements down to 20 mK were performed for Ni wires
20 nm in width, 20 nm in thickness and 20 mu-m in length. An increase of re
sistance proportional to T-1/2 was observed in a wide temperature range fro
m 10 K to 80 mK, which is interpreted by the electron-electron interaction
effect. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
