Abstract: Properties of nano-scale materials are very different from those in bulk form. The electrical resistivity of gold thin film as a function of film thickness is experimentally studied and presented here. The resistivity decreases sharply as thickness increases and approaches the resistivity of bulk gold as thickness of the film exceeds a critical value. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Les propriétés des matériaux à l'échelle nano sont très différentes de celles à l'échelle massive. Nous présentons les résultats expérimentaux de la résistivité électrique d'un mince film d'or en fonction de son épaisseur. La résistivité décroit rapidement lorsque l'épaisseur augmente et atteint la résistivité d'un échantillon massif lorsque l'épaisseur atteint un certaine valeur critique.
