In ultrahigh vacuum conditions the electrical conductivity of thin palladium films was investigated. The resistivity dependences of thin film's thickness were explained in the framework of Quantum and Classical size-effect theories. The average amplitude of one-dimentional surface asperities was estimated from the results of electrical measurements.
