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...

We study the transport properties of frustrated itinerant magnets comprising localized classical moments, which interact via exchange with the conduction electrons. Strong frustration stabilizes a liquidlike spin state, which extends down to temperatures well below the effective Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida interaction scale. The crossover into this state is characterized by spin structure fac...

This paper describes the application of approximate methods to invert airborne magnetic data as well as helicopter-borne frequency domain electromagnetic data in order to retrieve a joint model of magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistivity. The study area located in Semnan province of Iran consists of an arc-shaped porphyry andesite covered by sedimentary units which may have potential ...

It is shown that a strong intraplanar incoherent scattering can effectively block the interplanar coherent tunneling between the weakly coupled planes of the highly anisotropic but clean (intrinsic) materials such as the optimally doped high-Tc layered cuprate superconductors. The calculated normal-state C-axis resistivity ρc(T ) then follows the metal-like temperature dependence of the ab-plan...

A resistive network based anisotropic resistivity reconstruction method is introduced when three sets of internal electrical currents are given. Faraday’s law is discretized using resistive networks for an anisotropic resistivity body such as a muscle or nerve fiber structure of an animal body. The resistivity tensor imaging method of this paper may provide another approach to find the fiber st...

This paper discusses modeling of non-uniform substrate resistivity for substrate resistance extraction. Though substrate resistivity of each substrate layer is frequently assumed to be uniform, doping profile of each substrate layer is not uniform. We present the extraction error of substrate resistance under uniform resistivity assumption. The resistivity models we suggest enable accurate resi...

One of the key problems to the understanding of auroral arcs is the resistivity that they present to the flow of fieldaligned electric currents. Since collisional resistivity cannot account for the observations, one is faced with the question of what kind of collisionless process can account for the enhanced resistance. Previous theories [Kindel and Kennel, 1971] attempted to associate the anom...
