An Essential Guide to Electrical Conductivity and Resistivity opens with experimental and theoretical data on the important structurally sensitive property of the molten oxide-chloride systems КCl (50 mol. %)–PbCl2 (50 mol. %), CsCl (18.3 mol. %)–PbCl2 (81.7 mol. %) and CsCl (71.3 mol. %)–PbCl2 (28.7 mol. %) with PbO concentration reaching 20 mol.% in the temperature range of 764 – 917 K. This compilation also reports on recent developments in the stabilization, carbonization, and activation of naturally grown biomass, their physical and chemical properties, and major applications in supercapacitors. A brief overview of the application areas of the electrical resistivity method, a non-destructive and inexpensive geophysical technique, as well as comprehensive and practical overview of its results in environmental and geotechnical projects, archeology and stone cultural heritage is presented.
