Abstract
Oscillating current in a conductor induced by mechanical vibration was used to detect the electrical conductivity of a solid in a particular direction. Mechanical vibration of a sample under a static magnetic f ield induced an electric current in a particular direction. The Joule heat generated by the oscillating current was detected through the dec rease induced by the applied magnetic field in the amplitude of the me chanical vibration. Electrical conductivity data obtained with several metals and graphite coincided with those obtained by conventional met hods.
