Abstract
This paper examines the in-plane and c axis electrical resistivities, rho(a) and rho(c), from 4.2 to 295K for first stage M(x)Al(2)Cl(8) GIC s where M = Cu, Cd or Pd. It is found that d rho/dT > 0 for all cases in both directions. Particularly high values of rho(c) and anisotropy (rho(c)/rho(a)) are found for the Pd containing materials, exceeding 5 Omega.cm and 10(6) at 4.2K respectively. The magnetic ordering observ ed elsewhere in the Cu-containing materials does not appear to influen ce the transport in either direction.
