Need material on anisotropic conductivity

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the construction of the anisotropic conductivity tensor for materials exhibiting anisotropic magnetoresistance, a topic that lacks comprehensive coverage in standard textbooks. The user seeks recommendations for quality resources to better understand anisotropic conductivity. A specific reference to Nye's work is suggested as a starting point for further exploration. The user emphasizes a desire to engage with the problem independently rather than receiving direct solutions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of anisotropic magnetoresistance
  • Familiarity with tensor mathematics
  • Knowledge of material science principles
  • Basic grasp of electrical conductivity concepts
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Nye's work on anisotropic conductivity tensors
  • Explore advanced materials science textbooks focusing on anisotropic properties
  • Study the mathematical formulation of conductivity tensors in physics
  • Investigate recent journal articles on anisotropic magnetoresistance
USEFUL FOR

Graduate students in materials science, physicists specializing in magnetoresistance, and researchers focusing on electrical properties of anisotropic materials.

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
