A. Kloss et al., ELECTRICAL-CONDUCTIVITY OF TUNGSTEN NEAR ITS CRITICAL-POINT, Physical review. E, Statistical physics, plasmas, fluids, and related interdisciplinary topics, 54(5), 1996, pp. 5851-5854
Electrical conductivity of fluid tungsten under subcritical and superc
ritical conditions has been measured. Fast wire explosions are used to
create the corresponding states. The heavy;particle density varies fr
om 4x10(21) to 6x10(22) cm(-3), the temperature from 3700 up to 13 000
K. The measured electrical conductivity mainly depends on the average
d density and seems to be independent of the temperature within the ex
perimental errors. The measurements are compared with theoretical mode
ls.
