Need material on anisotropic conductivity

[Troels]

I've stumbled upon a problem whilst doing my master thesis

The problem is to construct the anisotropic conductivity tensor for a material that exhibits Anisotropic magnetoresistance. The problem has left me quite baffled, and coming to think of it, I've never seen a proper treatment of anisotropic conductivity in any of my textbooks or lecture notes.

Well, that only proves that my collection of textbooks is incomplete. Can anyone recommend some good material on the topic?

(Please don't give the solution if you know it, I'd like to have a go at it myself)

Thanks

The first thing I'd look at is Nye's http://books.google.com/books?id=ugwql-uVB44C".

for reaching out and sharing your experience with your master thesis. Anisotropic conductivity is a complex and important topic in material science and it is not surprising that you have encountered difficulties in finding proper resources on the subject. I would recommend looking into scientific articles and research papers that specifically focus on anisotropic conductivity, as they often provide more in-depth and up-to-date information compared to textbooks. Additionally, attending conferences or workshops on the topic can also be a great way to learn from experts in the field and gain a better understanding of the subject. Good luck with your research and I hope you are able to find the necessary resources to successfully complete your thesis.
