We studied resistivity, magnetoresistivity, and Hall resistivity for a few percolating granular NiFe-SiO2 films upon thermal annealing. It was found that both the resistivity and the Hall resistivity decrease by two orders of magnitude upon annealing at 520 °C, accompanied by a crossover from an approximately 2lnT dependence of resistivity to a metallic behavior. On the other hand, transmission...

High-quality YBa2Cux0,_-6 films were prepared in situ by laser ablation on SrTiOs ( 100). on MgO ( 100) and on Si ( 111) + Zr02 buffer layer. We especially investigated the influence of the substrate temperature. In similar preparation circumstances zero resistivity has been achieved for films on SrTiOs up to 89.5 K, on MgO up to 84.6 K and on Si( +ZrOz) up to 83.5 K. X-ray diffraction analysis...

A geophysical method of investigation has been deployed in order to give a quick overview the nature and rapidly changing subsurface lithologies that characterized Yikpata, Share, Kwara State, Nigeria. total nine (9) vertical electrical soundings (VES), using Schlumberger Array uniformly divided into three groups: basement, basement/sedimentary boundary sedimentary terrain, horizontal profiling...

Electrical resistivity describes how much a certain material resists electrical flow. Every material has an associated resistivity, ρ, which is constant. Conductors, such as copper have a low resistivity, while insulators, such as glass, have a high resistivity. Resistivity is an important property of any electrical object because it directly relates to the resistance, which relates to Ohm’s la...

Measurements of surface resistivity as a function of coverage for oxygen adsorbed on sulfur-predosed Cu(100) films reveal two types of interactions between sulfur and oxygen: S-O repulsion and short-range suppression of the surface resistivity change induced by oxygen adsorption. The repulsive interaction causes oxygen atoms to first occupy adsorption sites far from the sulfur atoms, beyond sec...

electrical resistivity survey is used to explore subsurface layers in hydrology, geology, mining, geotechnical and environmental investigations. the resistivity measurements are normally made by injecting current into the ground through two current electrodes, and measuring the resulting voltage difference at two potential electrodes. electrical resistivity is a function of injection current, m...
