Methods for Electrical Resistivity Measurement Applicable to Medium and Good Electrical Conductors

Among the various methods of investigating physical properties of solids, the measurement of electrical conductivity is one of the most currently used and a large variety of procedures have thus been developed over the last ten years. Hence the experimenter will often be faced by the choice of the most suitable technique owing to the nature of the conduction process, the range of electrical conductivity expected to be reached during experiments, the size and shape of the samples to be investigated, or also their chemical reactivity with respect to the sample holders.
