Abstract
A theory is developed for the conductivity of textured inhomogeneous media. In the context of the effective medium approach, the conductivity’s tensor components for a polycrystalline medium are calculated as functions of the conductivity’s tensor components for the constituent crystallites, the degree of ordering of the crystallites in orientation, and the orientation of the sample in the laboratory system of coordinates. Some recommendations are given regarding the experimental determination of the basic characteristics of the sample, including the statistical spread of directions of the crystallite axes with respect to the texture axis.
