None.

Any data on conductivity etc?

It's difficult to get much below 100ohm per square with metal layers. You can't get thinner than one atom thick, and while in theory the microcrystals of metal can offer a circuitious path, you are laying them down at random.
I made the mistake of asking for vacuum deposited layer of carbon with highish resistance, and got told off by the people who did it.
We ended up using a thick film layer of some very resistive metal oxide-based thick-film ink - about a micron of it.
