Low and non-metallic landmines are one of the most difficult subsurface targets to be detected using several geophysical techniques. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) performance at different field sites shows great success in detecting metallic landmines. However significant limitations are taking place in the case of low and non-metallic landmines. Electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) technique ...

We investigated the potential of using a 24-electrode resistivity imaging apparatus for rapid reconnaissance surveys for natural-aggregate accumulation. The surveys were first calibrated at sites with known geometry of sand and gravel layers, which showed that subsurface accumulation of coarse material was accurately resolved with both 2and 4-m electrode spacing. The inverted absolute resistivi...

We have measured the resistivity and Hall effect of R2Fe17 (R = Y, Tb, and Gd) single crystals in the temperature T range 4 < T < 300 K and applied magnetic fields of up to 9 T. The anomalous Hall effect (AHE) is very anisotropic in these ferromagnets. The AHE resistivity, measured with an applied magnetic field H perpendicular to the c axis, is very large and varies quite linearly with the lon...

The thermoelectric power of the amorphous nonmagnetic alloy system Ni81.5B18.5-yPy (y = 0, 1.8, 3.7, 7.4, 13, 16.8 and 18.5 at % P) has been investigated in the temperature range between 77 and 350 K. The resistivity and temperature coefficient of resistivity have also been measured. The high temperature slope of the thermopower, the resistivity and the room temperature coefficient of resistivi...

mrs method is one of the new geophysical methods that directly detects the groundwater. by using this method, one can determines some parameters of aquifer (porosity, permeability and transmissivity). the purpose of this research is the application of mrs method in the conductive ground. combination of mrs and rs method is used for better detection of the aquifer in the region of abyek located ...

We model s-wave and d-wave disordered granular superconductors with a three-dimensional lattice of randomly distributed Josephson junctions. The nonlinear ac resistivity rho(2) of these systems was calculated using Langevin dynamical equations. The current amplitude dependence of rho(2) at the peak position is found to be a power law characterized by exponent alpha, which is not universal but d...

Magnetization and resistivity measurements have been carried out on the equiatomic ternary compound NdNiSn in the temperature range 2 200K. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic CeNiSn-type structure with space group Pna21. Magnetic susceptibility shows a distinct feature at TN = 3 K (Néel temperature), typical of a phase transition from an antiferromagnetic to paramagnetic state. In th...

The transport and magnetic properties in ferromagnetic manganese-oxide thin films are studied based on the model of the coupling between the mobile d-electrons and the core spins in Mn ions. The spontaneous magnetization and the resistivity are obtained for various magnetic fields and temperature. The resistivity in absence of magnetic field and the magnetoresistance exhibit maxima near the Cur...

where d = thickness of the film, ,o = resistivity of the film, = resistivity of the bulk material having the same structure and approximately the same number of defects as the films, l0 = mean free path of the charge carriers. The values of l0 calculated by the two methods were found to agree satisfactorily. Figs. 7 and 8 show the variation of the Hall mobility (/̂ H) with film thickness and sub...
