AbstractWe report the observation of non-metallic electrical conduction, resistive switching, and a negative temperature coefficient of resistance in nanostructured gold films above the electrical percolation and in strong-coupling regime, from room down to cryogenic temperatures (24 K). Nanostructured continuous gold films are assembled by supersonic cluster beam deposition of Au aggregates formed in the gas phase. The structure of the cluster-assembled films is characterized by an extremely high density of randomly oriented crystalline nanodomains, separated by grain boundaries and with a large number of lattice defects. Our data indicates that space charge limited conduction and Coulomb blockade are at the origin of the anomalous electrical behavior. The high density of extended defects and grain boundaries causes the localization of conduction electrons over the entire investigated temperature range.

Thermistor beads are used as the sensitive elements for measuring temperature and wind speed. Their high resistance makes it unnecessary to correct for the resistance of leads or the change in their resistance due to temperature. Because of the high negative temperature coefficient of resistance of thermistor material slight changes in ambient temperatures caused sufficient changes in the bead resistance to unbalance a bridge circuit and thereby activate a recording milliammeter which had been calibrated to read temperatures. The change in resistance of a hot bead by the wind activated a second milliammeter which was calibrated to read wind speed.
