Abstract

Development of nanomaterial research has provided tremendous changes in technological advances. However, theories that have been used for this (bulk material) is not appropriate to explain the behavior of materials in nanometer size. Therefore, in this paper we explain the phenomenon of nanometer size effect of the metal to its electrical conductivity. Theory approach is used to derive the mathematical relationship between the nanometer scale of metal and the electrical conductivity. Electrical conductivity curve to the particle size is obtained from the results of mathematical formulation has been solved by simple calculation. Based on this curve, we obtained a decrease in the electrical conductivity as the size of nanoparticles decreases. These results were validated with experimental results from several sources that show the similar trends between the model and experimental results.
