Resistivity Tensor Elements in Silver Measured Using Helicon-Like Waves

Elements of the anisotropic resistivity tensor R of silver were measured for a large range of field directions. Helicon standing-wave resonances in flat plate samples were used to measure the tensor elements Rij. Samples were tipped in the magnetic field. Data were taken for crystallographic directions of B0 which completely outlined the unit stereographic triangle. Measurements were also made for many directions in the interior of the unit triangle. Hall effect and transverse-even voltage terms were measured, as well as the transverse magnetoresistance. Results are presented which can be compared to the predictions provided by Fermi surface shape.
