Conductivity—thickness dependences in quenched condensed ultra-thin manganese films are quantitatively described within the scope of the quasi-classical and quantum size-effect theories. Thin $\alpha$-Mn films are prepared and investigated under ultra-high vacuum conditions. The films are deposited on glass substrate and on glass substrate precovered with germanium underlayer with mass thicknesses of up to 3 nm. The experimental data are in a good agreement with the theoretical calculations, which took into account the peculiarities of the metal-films’ structure and the film surface morphology. Electron-transport parameters of thin films are calculated.

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