Abstract

An attempt is made to investigate the effect of size quantization on the effective electron mass in ultrathin films of bismuth. It is found, on the basis of the Cohen model, that the effective electron mass at the Fermi level depends on the size quantum number and is strongly influenced bv the thickness of the film.
