Abstract The electrical conductivity of a thin metal film in an alternating electric field is calculated considering the quantum size effect. The Fermi surface of the metal has the shape of an ellipsoid of rotation, the main axis of which is parallel to the plane of the film. The quantum kinetic equation obtained from the von Neumann equation (the Liouville quantum equation) is solved. The Soffer model is used as the boundary conditions for the distribution function. The dependence of the electrical conductivity on the film thickness is analyzed. A comparison is made with experimental data on the electrical conductivity of bismuth thin films.
