Electrical Conductivity of Copper and Aluminum at High Temperatures and Pressures

摘要

Accurate values of material properties are needed for predicting the performance of magnetocumulative generators, rail guns, and other pulsed power systems. Previous electrical conductivity measurements are extended to pressures above 1 Mbar and utilized in a simple model for flux diffusion in aluminum and copper at high field conditions.
