T. Aouaroun et al., ANISOTROPIC RESISTIVITY MEASUREMENTS BY A MULTITERMINAL TRANSPORT METHOD, Superconductor science and technology, 10(8), 1997, pp. 572-575
An 'exact' numerical solution of Laplace's equation is performed in or
der to extract the anisotropic resistivity in a single crystal of a su
perconducting oxide from a multi-terminal transport measurement. A phe
nomenological fit of the results is proposed to provide a very simple
method of extraction of the anisotropic resistivity. This extraction i
s successfully applied in a crystal of (Tl, Bi)Sr2CaCu2O7 at room temp
erature.
