Charge transport variation from Bloch–Grüneisen to Mott variable range hopping and transport change due to hydrogenation in Palladium thin films

Abstract We report a systematic investigation of the differences in charge transport mechanism in ultra-thin nano-island like films of palladium with thickness varying between 5 nm and 3 nm. The thicker films were found to be metallic in a large temperature range with a dominant Bloch–Grüneisen mech...
