Resistivity of materials is a fundamental property of solids and is widely used to understand underlying physics as well as to engineer device applications. Conventional four-probe measurement is usually employed to exclude the contributions from the parasitic contact resistances. Here, we evaluate the in-plane resistive anisotropy in Ca2RuO4 crystals by using a rotational square four-point probe (4PP) method, which measures an angular dependence of the resistance to sensitively detect the resistive anisotropy of materials. A clear sinusoidal dependence of the resistance has been observed, confirming the resistive anisotropy in this system. Finally, the resistance data is fitted with a theoretical angle dependence equation to extract the resistive anisotropy. The observed results are found matching with the actual resistivity of the sample.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
