Abstract
By evaporation in high vacuum, thin Pb films were deposited on glass plates cooled by liquid hydrogen. Beginning of electrical conduction was observed in films of a nominal thickness of 7A. Aging of these films at various temperatures revealed the existence of two regions of different behavior; decrease of resistance below and increase of resistance above an equilibrium temperature. Possible explanations are offered.Keywords
