Abstract
The electrical conductivity of copper has been measured in the range o f densities 0.3-3 gm/cm3 and in the temperature range from 8 000 to 30 000 K. Copper wires were vaporized in glass capillaries, and the cond uctivity measured in the I-mus interval after vaporization began, and before the tube disintegrated. Measured conductivities are compared wi th several theoretical models.
