Size dependences of electrical conductivity of quench-condensed Au films on substrate surface under ultra-high vacuum conditions are quantitatively described within the scope of the contemporary theories of quantum size effects. As shown, the experimental data have the best agreement with theoretical calculations, which take into account the peculiarities of surface morphology of real metal films.

Key words: metal thin films, semiconductor sublayers of subatomic thickness, surface and grain boundary scattering.
