$Pb_{0.4}Bi_{1.6}Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+x}$ ($Bi(Pb)-$2212) single crystal samples were studied using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), $ab-$plane ($\rho_{ab}$) and $c-$axis ($\rho_c$) resistivity, and high resolution angle-resolved ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (ARUPS). TEM reveals that the modulation in the $b...

General expressions for the electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity of twinned crystals
General expressions are derived for the electrical resisitivity and thermal conductivity of a twinned single crystal. Particular attention is paid to the effect of the structure of the twin domains on these transport coefficients. Edge effects are also considered. The expression for the thermal conductivity is used to ...

Behavior of the contacts of Quantum Hall Effect devices at high currents : an electronic thermometer
This paper reports on an experimental study of the contact resistance of Hall bars in the Quantum Hall Effect regime while increasing the current through the sample. These measurements involve also the longitudinal resistance and they have been always performed before the breakdown of the Quantum Hall Effect. Our inves...

Resistivity studies under hydrostatic pressure on a low-resistance variant of the quasi-2D organic superconductor kappa-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu[N(CN)2]Br: quest for intrinsic scattering contributions
Resistivity measurements have been performed on a low (LR)- and high (HR)-resistance variant of the kappa-(BEDT-TTF)_2Cu[N(CN)_2]Br superconductor. While the HR sample was synthesized following the standard procedure, the LR crystal is a result of a somewhat modified synthesis route. According to their residual resisti...

Transport properties in manganite thin films
The resistivity of thin $La_{0.7}A_{0.3}MnO_{3}$ films ($A=Ca, Sr$) is investigated in a wide temperature range. The comparison of the resistivities is made among films grown by different techniques and on several substrates allowing to analyze samples with different amounts of disorder. In the low-temperature nearly h...

Joule Heating and Anomalous Resistivity in the Solar Corona
Recent radioastronomical observations of Faraday rotation in the solar corona can be interpreted as evidence for coronal currents, with values as large as $2.5 \times 10^9$ Amperes (Spangler 2007). These estimates of currents are used to develop a model for Joule heating in the corona. It is assumed that the currents a...

Turbulent resistivity driven by the magnetorotational instability
We measure the turbulent resistivity in the nonlinear regime of the MRI, and evaluate the turbulent magnetic Prandtl number. We perform a set of numerical simulations with the Eulerian finite volume codes Athena and Ramses in the framework of the shearing box model. We consider models including explicit dissipation coe...

Turbulent resistivity evaluation in MRI generated turbulence
(abriged) MRI turbulence is a leading mechanism for the generation of an efficient turbulent transport of angular momentum in an accretion disk through a turbulent viscosity effect. It is believed that the same process could also transport large-scale magnetic fields in disks, reshaping the magnetic structures in these...

Transport properties and the anisotropy of Ba_{1-x}K_xFe_2As_2 single crystals in normal and superconducting states
The transport and superconducting properties of Ba_{1-x}K_xFe_2As_2 single crystals with T_c = 31 K were studied. Both in-plane and out-of plane resistivity was measured by modified Montgomery method. The in-plane resistivity for all studied samples, obtained in the course of the same synthesis, is almost the same, unl...

In-plane anisotropy of electrical resistivity in the strain-detwinned SrFe2As2
Intrinsic, in-plane anisotropy of electrical resistivity was studied on mechanically detwinned single crystals of SrFe$_2$As$_2$ above and below the temperature of the coupled structural/magnetic transition, $T_{\textrm{TO}}$. Resistivity is smaller for electrical current flow along the orthorhombic $a_o$ direction (di...

Electric field driven destabilization of the insulating state in nominally pure LaMnO3
We report an electric field driven destabilization of the insulating state in nominally pure LaMnO3 single crystal with a moderate field which leads to a resistive state transition below 300 K. The transition is between the insulating state in LaMnO3 and a high resistance bad metallic state that has a temperature indep...

On the bad metallicity and phase diagrams of Fe$_{1+δ}X$ ($X$ =Te, Se, S, solid solutions): an electrical resistivity study
Based on a systematic analysis of the thermal evolution of the resistivities of Fe-based chalcogenides Fe$_{1+\delta }$Te$_{1-x}X_{x}$ ($X$= Se, S), it is inferred that their often observed nonmetallic resistivities are related to a presence of two resistive channels: one is a high-temperature thermally-activated proce...

On the measurements of numerical viscosity and resistivity in Eulerian MHD codes
We propose a simple ansatz for estimating the value of the numerical resistivity and the numerical viscosity of any Eulerian MHD code. We test this ansatz with the help of simulations of the propagation of (magneto)sonic waves, Alfven waves, and the tearing mode instability using the MHD code Aenus. By comparing the si...

Linear in temperature resistivity in the limit of zero temperature from the time reparameterization soft mode
The most puzzling aspect of the 'strange metal' behavior of correlated electron compounds is that the linear in temperature resistivity often extends down to low temperatures, lower than natural microscopic energy scales. We consider recently proposed deconfined critical points (or phases) in models of electrons in lar...

Universal linear-temperature resistivity: possible quantum diffusion transport in strongly correlated superconductors

As cooling down, those electron fluids lose the resistivity and condense into th...

Faster Spectral Sparsification in Dynamic Streams
Graph sketching has emerged as a powerful technique for processing massive graphs that change over time (i.e., are presented as a dynamic stream of edge updates) over the past few years, starting with the work of Ahn, Guha and McGregor (SODA'12) on graph connectivity via sketching. In this paper we consider the problem...

Current Challenges and Perspectives in Resistive Gaseous Detectors: a manifesto from RPC 2012
Resistive gaseous detectors can be broadly defined as those operated in conditions where virtually no field lines exist that connect any two metallic electrodes sitting at different potential. This condition can be operationally recognized as 'no gas gap being delimited by two metallic electrodes'. Since early 70's, Re...

Resistive evolution of toroidal field configurations and their relation to magnetic clouds
We study the resistive evolution of a localized self-organizing magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium. In this configuration the magnetic forces are balanced by a pressure force caused by a toroidal depression in the pressure. Equilibrium is attained when this low pressure region prevents further expansion into the higher-pr...

Resistive Hot Accretion Flows with Anisotropic Pressure
Since the collisional mean free path of charged particles in hot accretion flows can be significantly larger than the typical length-scale of the accretion flows, the gas pressure is anisotropic to magnetic field lines. For such a large collisional mean free path, the resistive dissipation can also play a key role in h...

Greedy Optimization of Resistance-based Graph Robustness with Global and Local Edge Insertions
The total effective resistance, also called the Kirchhoff index, provides a robustness measure for a graph $G$. We consider two optimization problems of adding $k$ new edges to $G$ such that the resulting graph has minimal total effective resistance (i.e., is most robust) -- one where the new edges can be anywhere in t...
