...discusses five specific experiments. Not really “techniques,” although some important techniques are illustrated. The five experiments are: 1. The Rayleigh Refractometer 2. The Measurement of Resistivity 3. Absolute Measurement of the Acceleration Due to the Earth’s Gravity 4. Measurement of Frequency and Time 5. The Global Positioning System The Rayleigh Refractometer is a device for measuring...

P.L. Rossiter, The Electrical Resistivity of Metals and Alloys ; Chapter 7, "Magnetic and Nearly Magnetic Alloys:" I don't know if I reviewed section 7.1 on simple magnets and alloys, those with "long range order," but it's been awhile since I read it. I just finished the other three sections on dilute magnetic alloys, nearly magnetic systems, and spin glasses. Dilute magnetic alloys are simple...

...induce "antiferromagnetic" coupling between them: force the structures, when no field is applied, to have opposing magnetic polarizations. Depending on the relative orientation of the two magnets, the resistivity of the devices differ. This allows spin valve field sensors and magnetic random access memory for computers.* The basics of conduction and the GMR effect are the main thrusts of this chapter...
