A brief and selective review of experimental studies of electrical conduction in thin metal wires and films at low temperatures is given. This review will illustrate the importance of various length scales and of dimensionality in determining the properties disordered metals. A few intriguing and still unresolved experimental findings are also mentioned.

Guidelines for selecting the shape formed by metal discharged from a narrow Al line were developed. By controlling electromigration in the line, either relatively large microspheres, thin wires, or relatively small microspheres could be formed. Our starting point was a passivated polycrystalline Al line with a slit and small holes at the anode end of it. In the discussion, we describe how the temperature of a part of a wire, T*, at the moment when the part is completely discharged from the hole, affects the shape of the microstructural feature formed from the metal. High, intermediate, and low values of T* were found to correspond to the formation of large microspheres, thin wires, and small microspheres, respectively. The experimental results are explained in the discussion.
