The energy‐loss transport theory is applied to calculate the resistivity due to grain boundary scattering in a thin metallic film adjacent to two dielectric media, e.g. vacuum/Ag/Si. The common “bulk” result by Mayadas and Shatzkes for small film thicknesses is found to be reduced by about 20% due to image effects.
