The document describes a four probe method for measuring electrical resistivity over temperatures ranging from 8-300K. Four platinum leads are attached to rectangular samples to measure resistance (R), from which resistivity (ρ) is calculated using the sample's area (A) and length between voltage leads (L). A closed cycle refrigerator system is used to cool samples below 10K without liquid nitrogen by compressing and expanding a closed helium gas loop. The electrical resistivity system includes a cold head, gas lines, an optional temperature controller, and compressor. Diagrams show the sample setup and measurement components connected to a resistance bridge, switch, and computer for control and data output.

Electrical resistivity () measurements are carried out by the standard four-probe method over the temperature 8-300 K. Four platinum (Pt) electric leads are attached with silver paint/indium soldering on rectangular bar of specimens cut from sintered pellets with uniform cross section, as shown in Figure right side. is obtained from = RA/L, where R is resistance, A is area of cross section, and L is length between voltage leads. Schematic diagram of resistivity measurement General Description Closed cycle refrigerator (CCR) systems provide a convenient means of cooling samples to temperatures below 10 K. CCR systems require no liquid nitrogen as a source of cooling. Instead, a closed loop of helium gas is compressed and expanded. The electrical resistivity system include the following components : cold head, gas lines, optional temperature controller, and compressor.
