Abstract: We study the thermoelectric coefficient of island transition metal films as a function of temperature and film thickness. We show that the thermoelectric coefficient value is determined by the properties of the film metal element and is different for different metals at dimensionless conductance value $g>1$ and $g<1$. The main factor in the behavior difference of the thermoelectric coefficient as a function of temperature is the individual characteristics of the Fermi surface of each metal. Dependence of the thermoelectric coefficient on the film thickness is also determined by the Fermi surface shape change.

Keywords: island film, thin film, thermopower, thermoelectric coefficient, conductivity.
