In a recent article Raeder [1999] presented a series of MHD simulations using a resistive MHD model to describe the interaction of the terrestrial magnetosphere with the solar wind for due northward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) conditions. Depending on the initial conditions, the simulated magnetotail remained open for at least 6 hours after the IMF turned from south to north, or remaine...

Pertamina has conducted geothermal exploration in Sumatra showing that the depths to the top of most of the geothermal reservoirs are about 1000-2000 meters. Previous geophysical exploration work by Pertamina emphasized the use of DC-resistivity methods such as the Schlumberger method. However, these techmques can typically only penetrate to a depth of less than 1000 meters and are too shallow ...

The use of phenolic or melaminic bakelite as RPC electrodes is widespread. The electrode resistivity is an important parameter for the RPC performance. As recent studies pointed out, the bakelite resistivity changes with temperature and is in#uenced by humidity. In order to gain a quantitative understanding on the in#uence of temperature and humidity on RPC electrodes, we assembled an apparatus...

During the manufacturing process multi-strand conductors are subject to compressive force and rotation moments. The current distribution in the multi-strand conductors is not uniform and is controlled by the transverse resistivity. This is mainly determined by the contact resistance at the strand crossovers and inter-strand contact resistance. The surface layer properties, and in particular the...

Inkjet-printed silver gate electrode with low electrical resistivity was fabricated by UV curing method. By adjusting the UV curing time and the distance between the samples and UV lamp, the effects of UV curing conditions on the electrical resistivity of the silver films were studied, and the lowest electrical resistivity of 6.69 × 10-8 Ω·m was obtained. Besides, the UV-cured silver films have...

We have evaluated the tunneling contact resistivity based on numerical calculation of tunneling current density across an AlGaN barrier layer in non-polar AlGaN/GaN heterostructures. In order to reduce the tunneling contact resistivity, we have introduced an n-AlXGa1−XN layer between an n-GaN cap layer and an i-AlGaN barrier layer. The tunneling contact resistivity has been optimized by varying...

Low-resistivity materials have been proposed for the fabrication of radiation-hard solid-state particle detectors. A complete analysis of low-resistivity detector performance, including the estimate of charge collection efficiency, has been carried out by using a numerical device simulator, and compared with results expected from conventional, high-resistivity devices. By exploiting the feature...

The specific resistivity of the axoplasm of giant axons of squid and Myxicola was measured utilizing a single metal microelectrode subjected to alternating current in a circuit in which the voltage output varies with the conductivity of the thin layer of fluid at the exposed electrode tip. The average specific resistivity of stellar axons of Loligo pealei was 31 omegacm (1.55 times seawater [X ...

The electrical resistivity of high purity Cu has been investigated by both experiments and first principle calculations at pressures up to 5 GPa and at temperatures in the liquid phase up to 1730 K. The resistivity decreases with P and increases with T and our data are in very good agreement in relation to 1 atm data. Our melting temperature data agree with other experimental studies. We show t...
