25. The value of (Formula presented) was assumed to be the same as the diffusivity of Al films prepared in a similar way in our lab. The diffusivity was calculated by using the Wiedemann-Franz relation. The resistivity of Al was measured by a four-point probe technique. The diffusivity at 300 K was calculated to be 0.45 (Formula presented) In order to obtain the low temperature value (0.62 (Formula presented) at 100 K) it was assumed that the decrease in the resistivity compared to bulk Al at 100 K would be the same as the change measured at 300 K.
