conductivity 1. the property of transmitting heat, electricity, or sound 2. a. a measure of the ability of a substance to conduct electricity; the reciprocal of resistivity b. in the case of a solution, the electrolytic conductivity is the current density divided by the electric field strength, measured in siemens per metre 3. See thermal conductivity conductivity [‚kän‚dək′tiv·əd·ē] (electricity) The ratio of the electric current density to the electric field in a material. Also known as electrical conductivity; specific conductance. (geology) How to thank TFD for its existence?

| It has one of the highest conductivities of any element, second only to silver (Ag)--a member of the same group (column) on the periodic table. Penn State team member Ming-Liang Tian reports that the wires' conductivities depended on their thicknesses and lengths, as well as on the types of metals making up both the wires and electrodes. Mandal and Ravishankar [29] have applied the self-consistent Born approximation to calculate the effect of temperature and impurities on the Hall and longitudinal conductivities. |
