Electrical resistance measurements of aluminum foil are conducted under shock compression using the electric contact technique. Shock wave pressure p dependences of the electrical resistance R and the resistivity r are obtained for pressure range up to 22 GPa. The found dependence R(p) is a monotonically increasing smooth function of the pressure. The dependence r(p) is more complex: with increasing pressure, the electrical resistivity first decreases and then increases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
