Anisotropic electrical resistivity of quasi-one-dimensionalLi0.9Mo6O17determined by the Montgomery method

Abstract

Anisotropic electrical resistivity of quasi-one-dimensional ${\mathrm{Li}}_{0.9}{\mathrm{Mo}}_{6}{\mathrm{O}}_{17}$ was measured using the Montgomery method. The average resistivity ratio at $300\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$ was found to be ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{b}:{\ensuremath{\rho}}_{c}:{\ensuremath{\rho}}_{a}\ensuremath{\sim}1:2.5(0.4):6(2)$.
