Solved: The resistivity (a measure of electrical

Chapter , Problem 47

(choose chapter or problem)

The resistivity (a measure of electrical resistance) of graphite is in the basal plane. (The basal plane is the plane of the six-membered rings of carbon atoms.) The resistivity is along the axis perpendicular to the plane. The resistivity of diamond is 1014 to 1016 and is independent of direction. How can you account for this behavior in terms of the structures of graphite and diamond?
