		Electrical conductivity or specific conductivity is a measure of a material's ability to conduct an electric current.
		The conductivity of a semiconductor is generally intermediate, but varies widely under different conditions, such as exposure of the material to electric fields or specific frequencies of light, and, most important, with temperature and composition of the semiconductor material.
		In metals, electrical conductivity decreases with increasing temperature, whereas in semiconductors, electrical conductivity increases with increasing temperature.

	Is there a relationship between electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity?
		The electrons which are free to respond to the electric field have a thermal speed a sizable percentage of the speed of light, but since they travel randomly with this high speed, they go nowhere on average, i.e., this thermal speed itself doesn't create any current.
		Both thermal and electrical conductivity depend in the same way on not just the mean free path, but also on other properties such as electron mass and even the number of free electrons per unit volume.
		The upshot is that the ratio of thermal to electrical conductivity depends primarily on the square of the thermal speed.

		Conduction is very much less perpendicular to the planes (around three orders of magnitude smaller) - this is highly anisotropic behaviour.

		The metallic alloy exhibiting relatively low thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity may be provided as a coating suitable for thermal and/or electrical barrier applications on a variety of substrates.
		Because the relatively high thermal conductively and electrical conductivity arise from the free electrons in the unfilled outer energy bands of the metal, as the free electron density is reduced, so are the electrical conductivity and the thermal conductivity.
		Note that the conductivity of the coatings is lower than that of titanium which is the lowest thermal conductivity metal and at room temperature are even lower than alumina ceramic (see Table 2).

		When used for connectors or other electrical applications, the inherently high electrical conductivity of copper and copper alloys is very important.
		The conductivity of copper is expressed in units of a percentage of IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard).
		The higher the %IACS, the more conductive the material is. It is not uncommon for commercially pure copper products to have IACS conductivity values greater than 100 because of improved processing techniques which have been developed since the adoption of the standard in 1913.

	IngentaConnect Electrical conductivity evolution of non-saturated carbonate rock... (Site not responding. Last check: )
		We show that when saturation is decreased the conductivity increase occurs earlier during the deformation process, from 68 to 17 per cent of strength for 100 to 80 per cent of water saturation, respectively, so that the decrease in conductivity at low stress is less and less present.
		The induced relative rock conductivity variation in non-saturated and undrained conditions is the result of two competing effects: the relative porosity variation and the relative saturation variation during the deformation process.
		During compaction the electrical conductivity can show either a small decrease or a small increase; since the size of the partially saturated pores and cracks is reduced, the water occupies a larger percentage of the pore space, and then conductivity can be increased at this stage.
