Characterization of material changes with depth (profiles) in many landfill sites can be problematic for some conventional geophysical methods. Localized anomalies within the landfill can complicate mapping of underlying layers, and layered-model techniques are inappropriate for imaging laterally discontinuous landfills. Recently-developed geophysical hardware and software tools provide the opp...

A many-body coherent potential approximation (CPA) previously developed for the double exchange (DE) model is extended to include coupling to local quantum phonons. The Holstein-DE model studied (equal to the Holstein model for zero Hund coupling) is considered to be a simple model for the colossal magnetoresistance manganites. We concentrate on eeects due to the quantisation of the phonons, su...

An automatic technique is developed for integrating two electrical resistivity logs obtained during Leg 133, namely, the deep induction log (ILD) and the spherically focussed log (SFL). These logs are routinely run by the Ocean Drilling Program in lower resistivity sedimentary environments, where drilling through soft, poorly consolidated lithologies often results in variable hole diameters. Ex...

Engineering uses the chloride ion diffusion coefficient as the durability of concrete quality control indicators under the marine environment, due to the chloride ion diffusion coefficient and the electrical resistivity of concrete parameters are reflected in the concrete pore structure, and resistivity testing is convenient, fast advantages, the resistivity alternative chloride ion diffusion c...

[1] The distribution and connectivity of brine pockets in first year sea ice has a determining influence on the bulk properties of the ice and its interaction with the environment. The structure of the brine network depends upon both temperature and salinity, and a full understanding of the temporal evolution of sea ice physical properties requires measurements that are sensitive to the microst...

Helicopter EM resistivity mapping began to be accepted as a means of geologic mapping in the late 1970s. The data were first displayed as plan maps and images. Some 10 years later, sectional resistivity displays became available using the same ‘‘pseudolayer’’ half-space resistivity algorithm developed by Fraser and the new centroid depth algorithm developed by Sengpiel. Known as Sengpiel resist...

the electrical resistivity of hydrocarbon reservoir rocks is an important parameters in the calculation of water and oil saturation percent in both carbonate and sandstone reservoir rocks.in this regard, most studies have concentrated on the confining  pressure on cementation factor and electrical resistivity in sandstone reservoir rocks. in this study the effect of confining pressure on cement...

This paper reports the correlation between film thickness, nanostructure and DC electrical properties of copper thin films deposited by PVD method on glass substrate. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used for crystallography and morphology investigation, respectively. Resistivity was measured by four point probe instrument, while a Hall effects measurement system w...

We studied electrical resistivity and the Hall coe cient of single-crystalline samples of an oxide superconductor Sr2RuO4 under hydrostatic pressures up to 1.2 GPa. The value of Tc decreases by 36 % at 1.2 GPa, while no appreciable change in the resistivity or the Hall coe cient has been observed. At room temperature an unexpected increase of resistivity along the c axis occurs with increasing ...

The low-temperature electrical resistivity of corrugated semiconductor films is theoretically considered. Nanoscale corrugation enhances the electron-electron scattering contribution to the resistivity, resulting in a stepwise resistivity development with increasing corrugation amplitude. The enhanced electron scattering is attributed to the curvature-induced potential energy that affects the m...
