Electrical resistivity (also called volume resistivity or specific electrical resistance) is a fundamental specific property of a material that measures its electrical resistance or how strongly it resists electric current. A low resistivity indicates a material that readily allows electric current.

Gold is a good conductor with a resistivity of 2.44 × 10 −8 Ω·m and is essentially nonmagnetic: = 1, so its skin depth at a frequency of 50 Hz is given by = = Lead, in contrast, is a relatively poor conductor (among metals) with a resistivity of 2.2 × 10 −7 Ω·m , about 9 times that of gold.
Kondo effect: How gold with a small amount of what were probably iron impurities behaves at low temperatures Jun Kondo. In physics, the Kondo effect describes the scattering of conduction electrons in a metal due to magnetic impurities, resulting in a characteristic change i.e. a minimum in electrical resistivity with temperature.

Copper and gold are colored, but silver is not. Roentgenium is expected to be silvery, though it has not been produced in large enough amounts to confirm this. These elements have low electrical resistivity so they are used for wiring. Copper is the cheapest and most widely used. Bond wires for integrated circuits are usually gold. Silver and ...
The inverse of the resistance is known as the conductance. When we consider a metal of unit length and unit cross sectional area, the conductance is known as the conductivity, which is the inverse of resistivity. The Drude model attempts to explain the resistivity of a conductor in terms of the scattering of electrons (the carriers of ...
Sheet resistance is a special case of resistivity for a uniform sheet thickness. Commonly, resistivity (also known as bulk resistivity, specific electrical resistivity, or volume resistivity) is in units of Ω·m, which is more completely stated in units of Ω·m 2 /m (Ω·area/length). When divided by the sheet thickness (m), the units are Ω ...
The carrier density is important for semiconductors, where it is an important quantity for the process of chemical doping.Using band theory, the electron density, is number of electrons per unit volume in the conduction band.
