Conductivity of Cu

The influence of small quantities of arsenic on copper has already been described (p. 55). The thermal conductivity of Cu-As alloys has been investigated,5 as also has the electrical behaviour at temperatures as low as 1-26° Abs., obtained by means of liquid helium 6 whether or not the alloys are supraconduetive at these temperatures has not been definitely determined. The structure of various Cu-As alloys has been investigated by means of the X-rays.7...

The keen interest in research of planar metal-containing nanostractures is due to peculiarities of its physico-chemical parameters compared with the corresponding parameters of bulk materials and, thus, due to great promise of these stractures for nanoelectronics and optics. Recently revealed high conductivity of Cu nanostructures at room temperature stimulated an interest in scattering measurements as an alternative nondestructive statistical method to study properties of these nanoobjects. Such investigations must precede the costly near-field optical microscopy.

It is important to point out that the plane must be continuous, that k, with few or no isolation breaks in the Cu area. Since the thermal conductivity of Cu k about 1,000 times higher than that of the FR-4, a 1 mm F-R4 break in a plane offers about the same thermal resktance...

Things get even more complicated in the transition metals because of the interactions of the d-electrons. Figure 19.9 shows the band structure for Cu. The parabolic bands originate from the s-electrons. The flat bands are a result of the localization of the d-electrons. The flatness of these bands indicates these electrons are quite immobile. The steepness and curvature of the s-bands near the Fermi level indicate high mobility for these electrons, hence the high conductivity of Cu.
